What we’re about
The St. Louis Unix and Linux Users Groups hold regular meetings with technical presentations and discussions. Our topics frequently involve Unix, Unix-like Operating Systems, Linux, BSD, and other Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) applications, products, projects and services. All of our meetings are free and open to the public.
The St. Louis UNIX Users Group (SLUUG - www.sluug.org) is a professional, not for profit, vendor-independent organization dedicated to promoting Open Systems, Open Standards, Open Source and the UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems (such as Linux and BSD). Our purpose is to provide a forum for exchanging information about open systems, products, services and architectures.
We often cover commercial UNIX systems, BSD (including MacOS & iOS), and many Linux distributions.
Primary activities are meetings which can include organized presentations, calls for help (and answers), and solving the problems on the systems brought to the meetings.
Please see our extensive web site at www.sluug.org for in-depth details, subgroup meetings, and affiliated activities.
You are invited to attend our meetings. they are free and open to the public. Our MAIN general and sponsored meetings are held from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM (Central Time) every month. We will open the remote session at about 6:00 PM, so that you can join early to test your microphone, screen and video sharing.

HOSTALIASES
·OnlineOnlineBASIC Tutorial: WHAT IS HOSTALIASES. Sort of a way to do nicknames for hosts, commands on a system. Similar to multiple names in /etc/hosts file. BY: Grant Taylor
MAIN Topic: Build A Router With Spare Hardware
BY: Grant Taylor and Lee_Lammert.
Routers are often needed in any network beyond basic consumer level, ... *BUT* you don't need to deal with commercial products that often times can't really do what needs to get done!
Tune in next Wednesday when to see how to take almost any PC (even a
Raspberry Pi) and build a functional router that can be customized for
just about any network job.
(Last month, Grant did the tutorial on "What's a router and why do you need one." The recording is available in the SLUUG archive at https://www.sluug.org/resources/presentations/ )
