'''This page needs work. Please don't hesitate to add and make correwctions''' ~~The Linux User Group operates many network services including:~~ The Linux Users Group of Michigan Tech offer a wide range of various useful services for the public and is of particular advantage to students and staff of [[Michigan Technological University]] because there is no traffic shaper between our server and hosts on the [http://www.tc.mtu.edu/data/index.htm campus network]. [[IRC]]▼ [[Jabber]]▼ [[Debian\|Debian Mirror]]▼ [[Ubuntu\|Ubuntu Mirror]]▼ [{{SERVER}}/lists/ Mailing list] [{{SERVER}}/forum/ Message board] == Mirrors == ~~We also have an install-a-thon every semester where we bring you step-by-step through the installer and assist you with any problems.~~ LUG hosts many mirrors and is normally ranked one of the top 10 mirrors for each distribution. Some of the more popular mirrors that LUG hosts are: ▲* [[Ubuntu~~\|Ubuntu Mirror~~]] ▲* [[Debian~~\|Debian Mirror~~]] * [[Gentoo]] [[Gentoo Distfiles\|Distfiles]] and [[Gentoo Portage\|Portage]] A complete list can be found at http://lug.mtu.edu/mirrors.php == IRC == LUG also hosts an IRC server for facilitating rapid communication between its members, for various task that range from problem solving, troubleshooting, to tossing the bull around. === IRC Clients === There are lots IRC clients out there in the world. Here is a short list (sorted by popularity in LUG) Linux * [[Irssi]] * [http://www.csl.mtu.edu/~agmeyer/pidgin.html Pidgin] * [[Xchat]] * [[BitchX]] Windows * [http://www.csl.mtu.edu/~agmeyer/pidgin.html Pidgin] * [[Irssi]] * [[Xchat]] * [[Trillian]] * [[BitchX]] ▲* [[~~IRC~~Mirc]] Mac * [[Xchat]] * [http://www.csl.mtu.edu/~agmeyer/pidgin.html Pidgin] * [[Irssi]] * [[Colloquy]] * [[Snak]] === IRC Channels === It would rock to get a list of channels and their uses I'll include some that I know, and there uses for the final draft we should leave some out * '''#mtu''' General discussion for both student and alumni and others. * '''#linux''' General Linux discussion, and help * '''#beginners''' A place for newer people to Linux to hang out and get help. ''(Will have to ask Lego or ehntoo to be sure)'' * '''#MTUstudents''' General discussion for current MTU students. * '''#botsex''' For letting bots talk to each other in an attempt to being down the IRC server ''(someone rephrase this please)'' * '''#ballpit''' "We're adults now, so it's our turn to decide what that means." No adults allowed ;) * '''#pfrc''' This channel is for PFRC members to let loose and talk about anything and everything science/PFRC related. * If you are allowed in the alumni channel, you probably already know what it's called. So don't even try looking for it if you are not one of the ''All-Seeing, All Knowing Council of the Ancients''. ▲*== [[Jabber]] == LUG hosts a Jabber/XMPP server. There are many clients for this protocol, which is also used by systems such as [http://talk.google.com Google Talk] == [http://lug.mtu.edu/lugradio/ LUGRadio] == http://lug.mtu.edu/lugradio/ Um, kind of a podcast of sorts. I hear they are somewhat entertaining at times. == Install-a-thon == We install, teach, and attempt to help with Linux, once every Fall and Spring semester.
