[GLLUG] LAMP Server Reminder

[Clay Dowling]

Just a reminder to everyone on the list that we're doing our LAMP  
Server workshop this weekend.  If you don't know what I'm talking  
about, have a look at http://www.gllug.org/node/101

I've been posting this to Craigslist daily, and I'm getting some  
responses, so I think we'll have decent attendance aside from the list  
regulars.  You all are welcome too, of course.

I've been advertising Thursday night as a good pre-session for people  
who need to do an install.  I really don't want to be doing installs  
on Saturday.  That said, if a couple of folks could be ready on  
Saturday to help out with installs, that would be awesome.  I'll have  
the large stack of CDs there, so no need to bring media.

I'd also like suggestions of what to cover.  We'll obviously talk  
about Apache, MySQL and PHP setup, all of which can and should be  
installed via the operating system's package management system.  If  
you aren't familiar with your distro's package management system, this  
is a good time to learn.  PK, for you that means checking out the  
pkg_add command.

The next obvious thing is a content management system like Drupal.   
I'm probably just going to hit the highlights on that.  Is there any  
chance we can get a projector there?  I won't need it the whole time,  
but it would be good for showing basic things like setting  
up/installing Drupal.
