(fwd):Reminder....GNHLUG meeting today (Wednesday)

[Jon 'maddog' Hall, USG Senior Leader]

The next meeting of the Greater New Hampshire Linux User's Group 
(GNHLUG)
will be on Wednesday, June 25th at Illuminata, in Nashua, NH at 1900 
hours
(7 P.M.)

The speaker will be our own Robert Anderson, who will be speaking on 
RPM,
the packaging system developed by Red Hat Software, and now used by 
several
of the Linux distributions, including Apple's MkLinux.  The importance 
of
a package management system can only be appreciated after you remove a 
few
obscure files and then find out that half of your software stops 
working 
because those obscure files were used by lots of less obscure ones!!!!

Rob will be showing us how to use RPM, and even how to create our own 
RPM
packages.

As always, there will be a post-meeting downstairs at Martha's Exchange
BrewPub for those who wish to attend.

The directions to Illuminata are below.  Please put this on your 
calendars.

===========================Directions to Illuminata=====================

http://www.illuminata.com/directions.html

Illuminata's headquarters are located in Nashua, New Hampshire. 

We occupy the third floor of the Market Exchange Building at 187 Main 
Street. 
This building is better known as the home of Martha's Exchange, a 
popular
restaurant and micro-brewery. (For some reason, our clients visit our 
offices
far more often and far more enthusiastically since we co-located with 
Martha's.
Hmmm...)

Coming From The South (Massachusetts)

Take US Route 3, which is accessible from both the Route 128 and the 
I-495
beltways, north into New Hamphshire. Take Exit 5 and go East until you 
hit
Main Street. Take a left; go several blocks. Look for Martha's 
Exchange, a
large restaurant in a red-brick building on your left. You can 
generally park
on the street. 

Coming From The North (Concord, NH)

Take I-93 South. When I-93 and the Everett Turnpike go separate ways, 
follow
the Turnpike. You will soon come into Manchester. Follow the directions 
below
for Manchester. 

Coming From The North (Manchester, NH)

Whether you're coming from the Manchester Airport, from Route 101, or 
from
Concord down I-93, the trick is to take I-293 to the the Everett 
Turnpike,
then head South. Getting to I-293 is easy from Route 101, because they
are largely colinear in Manchester. From the Airport, take a Right at 
the exit.
Travel until you hit I-293, which you will take West, to the Left. Once 
you
are approaching Nashua, look for Exit 7 / Route 101A, which you will 
take
East. In a few minutes you will end up in downtown Nashua, where you 
will enter
an interection at an angle (you're on Amherst Street, about to turn 
onto Main).
At that intersection take a Right, which puts you on Main Street. Look 
for
Martha's Exchange in a red-brick building on your right.

Go to the third floor.
