The next meeting of the Portsmouth LUG will be tomorrow Saturday 16th
February from 13:00 to 18:00 at the Broadoaks Sports and Social Club, Hilsea.

We have a talk this month by Gary Burton on "How to build a Supercomputer".

http://www.portsmouth.lug.org.uk/talks/201601.html

I am still reeling from the idea of 3700 cores and 1 petabyte (almost) memory.
From Colossus to this *inside* my lifetime. The mind boggles. Mine does
anyway.

We shall also of course have our usual bring a box session. Bring a box,
bring a problem, come to have help with anything from installation to
glitch-solving. Come for Linux and Open Source chat. Come to help and be
helped. Come to chat and come to proselytise.

If you have a specific problem, that you know you will be bringing, it
sometimes helps if you give prior notification. Then any equipment that would
help in the solution can be brought in. And anyone who is particularly
interested in that area, or specially able to help, and who was dithering,
might decide to come.

I would be grateful if anyone were able to bring any of the following
equipment:
* Extension leads, especially multi-socket, surge protected ones
* Indoor cable protector(s) (anti-trip)
* A powered External Optical Drive
* A hard drive in a Zalman enclosure with some popular distros on it
* CDs/DVDs, Live and/or Install
for people to take away if they would prefer to install at home.. (Though I
usually have some of these.)

If a lift would be helpful, please ask, though it is getting late for
arrangements. But still, try if you need one. Miracles are happening in my
vicinity at the moment.

Sadly, Paul is not well and will not be with us. I, for one, will miss him.

Lisi
