[buug] reply need some help getting setting up

[Michael Salmon]

 From the private messages and public discussion on this topic, it seems
there is a lot of interest in learning how to do this sort of thing.
I am new to the list and curious if there have been any meetings
with discussions or lessons on useful technologies? Sounds like a
buug meeting where someone shows how to setup a sample network
would be welcomed. If there was enough interest and I had some help 
getting computers to and from some venue, I would consider creating
a free demonstration of setting up a unix firewall to control a private
network. Then I could let everyone try to hack it.
And of course people there would have to be pizza and drinks ;-)

Sounds a bit funner then the boring perl user groups where people talk
about the new features in 5.6 and how awesome mod_perl is.
