Yeah, thanks, Clint. It'll be streamed live from the UTOS streaming
server, then put up for download from the UTOS podcasts page during
this coming week.

Quick meeting recap. Our presenter had an unexpected last-minute
obligation so we had a short meeting on stupid ssh tricks. I'll post
an announcement when the audio is available for download. There were
no slides, but here's a recap of some of the commands:

To generate an ssh key::

ssh-keygen -t rsa

To add that key to your current session::

eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add

To tar a local directory and untar it on a remote host via stdin and
stdout::

tar cjf - somedir | ssh yourhost 'tar xjf -'



Dan Langford gave an excellent lightning talk on Wubi [1], the Ubuntu
installer for Windows, which was pointed out, is available on the
newly released Hardy disc.
