Cheap Laptops For Members
by Eoin Campbell 18 Feb '03

18 Feb '03

Afternoon Folks, Recently, I was informed by a company who RedBrick deal with for buying hardware that they had Cheap 2nd-hand laptops for sale, which they have re-furbished. They suggested that these machines might be suitable for members who don't want to pay an arm and a leg for their own laptop but just want something to "mess around" on, break, install, reinstall and basically butcher for their own education. The machines are quite old but are in full working order and have new working batteries in them. We've been quoted at 100Euro per laptop with no software/operating system OR 150Euro with windows 98 & Office 97 installed. However this price may change depending on the order size. The approximate specs for them are Pentium 1, 166 Mhz 2-3 Gb Harddrives 32-64 Mb Ram 2 * PCIMCA Slots NO C.D. Drives NO USB NO in-built Modem or Network Card However they've told us, that if there is enough interest in the machines, they will give redbrick a couple of Laptop Docking Stations which do have a CD-ROM. Ideally these machines could be used as your first unix machine. Something to start you off on. I've told my contact there that i'll get back to him by the end of the week so if anyone is interested for definite, you can mail me at cambo(a)redbrick.dcu.ie with the subject CHEAPCOMP and i'll add you to the shopping list. thanx alot.

RedBrick Admin Training
by Cillian Sharkey 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Hi folks, This is just a quick note to announce that RedBrick will be running a training program for members interested in becoming a System Administrator for the society. We're not decided yet as to the exact format or shape this program will take as we want to ascertain the level of interest and get some feedback first. However, the program will roughly comprise of a 'trainee-admins' mailing list and informal meetings where people can try out the installation and administration of UNIX machines (we hope to provide 1 or 2 machines for this). If you are interested, please be aware of the following requirements: - Candidates must genuinely be interested and able to guarantee that they will run for the position of admin at the next AGM (April next year). - Candidates must be willing to spend time reading up and trying out stuff on their own. - Candidates should preferably have some prior UNIX experience. - The number of places may be limited depending on interest. If you're still interested, please email committee(a)redbrick.dcu.ie (from your RedBrick account preferably) stating your intentions and any previous relevant experience. Thanks, -- Cillian Sharkey System Administrator, DCU Networking Society (www.redbrick.dcu.ie)
