Hello ALErs,
I believe that this is the topic for the February meeting. I believe that
it will be this Thursday, 2/24 @ 7:30 pm on the
Southern Polytechnic campus in Room M100. I will verify this information
ASAP and repost to the list.

Using Linux as a Workstation OS
"A Computing Platform for Scientist and Engineers"
Over the years the term, workstation, has been used to describe
a wide range of computer hardware and software configurations.
Most of these definitions describe a workstation as a computer
where serious technical work is done. Modern PC hardware and the
Linux OS provide the potential to be configured as a workstation.
At a minimum, this means including an SSH server to a typical
desktop Linux configuration. Other services can be run to expand
the capability of workstation to meet the needs of a technical
group of users.
In this seminar, the configuration of such a workstation is
described. In addition, configuration of the user environment
is described to provide a computing environment to support the
local and distributed needs of a technical-oriented user.
The seminor mainly provides an overview of the configurations
with the goal of showing the potential of a workstation. The
details of configuring a workstation will be included on a
Scientific Programming web site hosted in the CSE Department of
SPSU. There is also a direct link to the Unix information at
this site.
