[Acm-announce] SIG SysAdmin Meeting Reminder for Oct 13th

[Walter Dworak]

I hope everyone enjoyed Linux Newbie Week hosted by LUG last week. The
SIG Sysadmin meeting will be happening as per the normal schedule
tomorrow at 5:30PM in the ACM office. We will be doing a guided
installation of Arch Linux as an extension/addition to some of the
topics last week. The plan is to do these installations inside of a
virtual machine on either your laptop, so bring a laptop with some VM
software you can use installed on it if you can, or on the ACM
workstations, first come first serve. Hopefully this session will give
you a better idea of what is going on under the hood when installing and
running an OS on a machine. 

If you need help finding software to host a VM here are a few
suggestions. 

VMWare Player [1] 

QEMU [2]+KVM [3] (Look up how to install the package for your Linux
distribution)
