Raspberry Pi - April NEWLUG meeting video!

I was the presenter at the April 2013 NorthEast Wisconsin Linux Users Group (NEWLUG) meeting. They asked me to talk about the Raspberry Pi, and I was happy to comply.
Here are some links to items mentioned in the presentation (listed in no particular order):

• Raspberry Pi Disk Images
• Raspbmc
• Android Pi
• RetroPie
• PiMAME
• Logitech Revue Keyboard controller (I did eventually get this to work- it requires running a Windows program to pair the device)
• Looking for a 7-10 inch monitor for the Raspberry Pi? (My answer is the highest voted result)
• Monoprice, the source of many cheap cables
• Adafruit's Raspberry Pi section
• The Adafruit Raspberry Pi Educational Linux Distro
• Raspberry Pi inside an N64 cartridge
• Raspberry Pi as an NFC/RFID check-in station

OK, I think that's enough links.  Have a nice day!

Two NEWLUG Videos online- SSH Two Factor Authentication and Ubuntu 12.04

I've gotten a little behind in rendering and uploading videos.  However, better late than never.  With no further ado, here is the September 2012 meeting video, covering two factor SSH authentication!



As a blast from the past, I also found meeting video for May of 2012, concerning the (then new) Ubuntu 12.04!  The presenter is Anthony Hook, presenting via a Google+ Hangout.

Raspberry Pi and ARM Linux Devices - NEWLUG - July 2012

I recently gave a presentation about the Raspberry Pi.  I had received it in the mail the day before this presentation, so I hadn't even booted it up yet, but I was excited enough to tell others about it, as well as other Linux hardware projects that rely on ARM hardware.
The video is here:

If you are interested in some of the devices I mentioned, I'd suggest taking a look at this excellent compendium of small Linux devices by Raymii.org. As well, here are some pictures of my Raspberry Pi booting Debian Linux. I was unable to get it working at the meeting because I wrote the image to the SD card's partition instead of the device itself.

When writing an image to a SD card, here is a good rule of thumb:

If your device name has a number in it, you're probably doing it wrong. 

Take it from someone with experience.

Ubuntu Quickly - NEWLUG - July 2012
