A lot of it is for people who are new to linux or may be new to serving/hosting with linux.<br><br>Also, I'll throw in a couple of "others." Right now I'm trying to back up my multiple home PC's (windows 7 on most) to my
linux box and then I'd like to potentially back it up to the cloud. Also, if anyone knows much about LCDProc/LCD4Linux I could use some help! Lastly, setting up and maintaining a VM system. I use VMWare server (free) right now, but it's a pain to fix back up each time a kernel update comes down on ubuntu. Sometimes it kills my VMWare install until someone comes up with a fix!<br>

<div>A discussion on the LUG channel (#cialug on Freenode, Join Now!) has pointed out that some people might want a topic presented at the LUG meetings, but not know enough about the topic to present it themselves.<br>
<br>
If there are topics that you would like discussed, reply to this thread with ideas. Then we'll try to find folks to give lightning talks on these topics. The presentations might not go deep, but it'd be nice to have a few more presentations of whatever depth.<br>
