Well, we didn’t go there for vice. Actually it was an outing to the office of one of our alumni, Ahmad, who currently works in a startup. He had some problems with Samba on Centos, so we decided that it was a good excuse for a quick get together.

After arriving at his office, Ahmad elaborated that after Samba installation, internet access becomes limited. We couldn’t figure the solution, and decided to start a fresh install.

For more photos, please check out our album here.

And of course what is a linuxNUS gathering without good coffee and pizza? We help ourselves while Centos installed.

After installation, the internet worked. Yipee! And we got Samba working flawlessly too after a bit of tinkering plus trial and error. But unfortunately, installing Samba killed the net connection We threw every trick in the book that we knew… but sad to say we couldn’t really resolve the issue.

But then again, it was good to meet for the alumni and the present members to meet. And some of the more junior members did learn quite a bit Oh, and free pizza and coffee

Dear linuxNUS friends,

With all the CAs and assignments during these few weeks, I am sure many of us are really in need of a break. With this in mind, linuxNUS is organising a pizza party in our clubroom (at SoC 1 Level 3) on 26 Oct 2006 at 6.15pm. The idea is to have an evening of relaxation and casual chatter about our upcoming plans.

We will also be unveiling our T-Shirt design for the linuxNUS community.

Tentatively, the idea is for a pizza party, but do feel free to reply to this mail if you have any suggestions about what else we can have for dinner, as well as the venue.

Kindly email us to let us know if you are coming. Please RSVP by 25 Oct 06 so that we can make appropriate F&B arrangements. The point of contact for this meetup is Lu Feng (HP: 91292492).

We look forward to meeting all of you.
