Autonomous Lan Party (ALP) is now up and open for registration. Get your account set up, and preregister for the LAN here.
Just to recap the meeting we had today (11/4), we have decided on a distribution to ues for our tiger boxes. We are going to be using Ubuntu 9.10 as the base os. If you are unfamiliar with this operating system, or new to setting up virtual machines, come to the next meeting (11/11 at 4:30 in East Hall 105) and we'll help you get going. This meeting is informal and not required if you already have an Ubuntu VM setup, but if you want to come help others that would be great.
Download Ubuntu 9.10 (the 32-bit version will work fine).
We also went over a few of the Hack This Site (www.hackthissite.org) tutorials during the meeting.
