Perth Linux Users' Group

What is PLUG?

PLUG is the Perth Linux Users' Group, an association of people interested in Linux. We aim to promote Linux and support the users of Linux in Perth, Western Australia.

Linux is a free computer operating system. It runs on a large variety of computer hardware, and can be used for many purposes including desktop machines, small embedded systems and Internet servers. You can find more information about Linux itself on the Linux International and the Linux Australia web sites. The Linux Documentation Project is also a good place to find general information about Linux.

Mailing list

One of the main forms of communication between PLUG members is our e-mail list. The list is a good way to get help if you're new to Linux, and also a good place for general discussion—both technical and social—regarding Linux and related topics.

• Mailing list archives (including a search facility)
• PLUG news server (alternate way of accessing the mailing list)

PLUG events

Next event — November PLUG Seminar

Title: "Linux Traffic Control"
When: Tuesday, 10th November 2009, 7:30pm - 9:00pm.
Where: 'Futuresphere', Christ Church Grammar School, Queenslea Drive, Claremont
Presenter: Patrick Coleman

Linux has a number of powerful built-in controls for classifying, shaping, and otherwise doing interesting things to streams data traffic on the internet or your local area network. I'll be talking about these, within the example of building a traffic shaper to manage and prioritise data traffic over a home ADSL connection.
