Canberra Linux Users Group Meeting - 23rd June 2005
===================================================
Date: 23rd June 2005 (Fourth Thursday of the month)
Time: 19:00 - 21:00 (or when it finishes)
Speaker: Alex Satrapa, Pascal Klein
Abstract:
Alex will give a brief presentation about running the
OpenWRT Linux distribution on the Linkysys WRT54G
wireless router. This demonstration will include
uploading a new version of the software to the router,
configuring WPA for the 802.11g network and VLANs for
the Ethernet switch. Some firewall examples will be
discussed, such as discovering and blocking access for
specific applications (in our example, World of Warcraft
and SMTP).
The firewall component will be applicable to all Linux
systems, so anyone who is interested in learning where
to start with firewalls on Linux should get some value
out of this talk. This talk will specifically cover
discovery of network utilisation using packet sniffers,
and firewall construction using both the command line
Pascal is going to talk about the Gimp
The GIMP is a great little app, well rather a big app,
empowering common users with a pleasant interface and an
enormous repertoire of options to create and edit 2D
graphics. He will go over a few techniques as well as
some basics ranging from the layout, and the tools, thus
helping you with your next little artistic idea, adding
some more gimpers to the pool.
