[wplug-plan] topic for 8/5 GUM needed

[Greg Simkins]

If the incoming freshman idea doesn't work out, I am always interested in 
learning more about networking and server issues.  This is the type question 
I always ask at WPLUG meetings and I have made progress, but I still lack 
knowledge -  the sort of stuff that we were supposed to explore in depth in 
SIA that I still want to pursue, like:

Configuring LAMP server (Bill did touch this briefly at a recent GUM)

Routing issues (When my wireless access router puts wireless clients on a 
separate subnet, how do I print to a PC back on the parent network?)

Firewall issues, especially in combination with multiple subnets (see 
above). When will Norton Utilities be obsolete? (When everybody uses Linux 
or OS X)?
LDAP authentication & networking of Windows and Linux.  I want to be able to 
set up my IPCop firewall to route multiple IP addresses from outside to 
inside.  When my $1200 Cisco PIX goes off line, I need a backup solution.

Command Line - I still haven't wrapped myself around the Linux paradigm. 
Thus, I am now working in the WIMP environment (Windows-IIS-MySQL-PHP)
because I still am lost at the Linux command line.  With my MacPro, OS X has 
its own unix command line, plus it will boot a live CD under BootCamp, so I 
have more chances to practice. (I am also lost in the OS X GUI - yet another 
paradigm).
