[ale] Wanted presentation topics?

[Richard Faulkner]

I'll second Jim on these!

As a relative newcomer to daily driving of Linux I wouldn't mind
presentations geared to the intermediate user coming into *NIX.  Keeping
in mind I represent those of us who've spent the better part of two
decades supporting M$ and have abandoned that for *NIX.  I've dabbled in
Linux since the late 90's but have been a daily driver for almost 1-1/2
years.  Much to learn (especially the CLI - which I want to spend more
time in rather than the GUI.)  To that end I do read and try to apply
new learning to needs of the moment.  Some of what I'd like to see...

- Installation troubleshooting (fixing problem installations)
- GRUB2
- Virtualization (demonstrated installation and application)
- MySQL (databasing for those with little to no experience)
- Apache (with an eye towards building LAMP systems/wiki's and the like)
- Python for dummies

...I too could go on and on...but these more basic topics would open the
field to more and more presenters.  Just my humble dos centavos!

        Hey all,
        
        Simple question:  What presentation topics do y'all want to see
        in the
        future?  Doesn't matter if they are standalone topics or broader
        topics
        that would require something of a series, I'd like to know what
        people
        want to see.
