Re: Meetings and all things morlug.

Great!

I am going to look into the feasibility of holding meetings in the  
large group viewing in the library as well. There are no  computers  
on the tables there, but it has drops and a WAP in the room and an  
instructors machine up front ... I'd be able to hook a linux box up  
to the podium or provide connections for a laptop.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to reserve our computer lab  
since it is now open to the public during the evening hours.

If using the large group viewing room in the library falls through we  
could defiantly make use of your room.

Would it be possible to get putty loaded on the lab machines? I could  
setup a box for SSH access and give everyone a username/password to  
use during the meeting.

Mike.
