http://leglug.org/articles/2005/11/19/meeting-2005-11-19 en-us 40 Lebanese GNU/Linux Users Group Here are the main points discussed in this meeting:<br><br> <ul> <li>What are the substitutes for Matlab and Visual Basic on Linux?</li> <li>Impulse C.</li> <li>WiFi on Linux and Chady's experience regarding that issue. Kernel 2.6.14 helps with making everything work nicely.</li> <li>I had a Toffee-Nut Latte, hehe.</li> <li>Inter-process communication. It's a shame that the kernel would be perfect, and the interface absolutely gorgeous, yet the layers in between are horribly implemented.</li> <li>A discussion on Ubuntu and its founder.</li> <li>D language. Everyone more or less agreed that it's a horrible programming language.</li> <li>OpenBSD and NetBSD are not C-99 compliant.</li> <li>The similarities between C# and Java (not to be confused with the coffee beans).</li> <li>Sky OS: It's not open source and you need to pay a fee to be able to have it. Bassam said that it's not worth it, unless you want to fiddle with it.</li> <li>More work needs to be done with regards to memory management on Linux.</li> <li>A discussion on zombie machines and what they are. No, they're not covered in green slime.</li> <li>The art of spoofing, and miscalenous forms of it.</li> <li>Is PSP Linux-compatible? Yes indeedy! The Nintendo DS already has a Linux system on it.</li> <li>A little talk on the innovative Steve Jobs.</li> </ul> <br>That's all folks!
