I could do a 10 - 20 min piece on a few topics. Intro to journalled filesystems, e.g. what is a journalled filesystem, jumps to mind. After the presentation we could take comments from the peanut gallery about the different journalled filesystems available for Linux. I can do a variety of other sys_adm topics. Anything in particular they'd like to see? The key is probably keeping it down to 10 or 20 minutes this month. ciao, der.hans -- # http://home.pages.de/~lufthans/ http://www.DevelopOnline.com/ # Science is magic explained. - der.hans
