I've been hesitant to suggest programming-related meeting topics since 
many of our fold are not programmers (though I did a PHP presentation 
once, and we recently had a presentation on Agile programming), but I 
would certainly welcome more meetings about *NIX programming topics.

- Threads and how they work with one processor vs multiple processors
- TCP/IP and sockets programming
- Device drivers
- Kernel modules
- Interesting but useful programming languages
- Compiling, linking and debugging with the GNU toolchain
- Graphical programming for KDE/Gnome/tk
- How to use make and ant, and make vs ant
- Web App Server roundup (J2EE, etc)
- IDE/Editor roundup, followed by religious war and mass graves

Some of these could be minimeetings.

Can I hear some yeahs and nays on these topics?

Actually, a non-programming topic I would like to see is apache 2 vs
apache 1.3.  Lots of people seem to be staying with 1.3.  Why?  Why not?
