Who:  Everyone who uses a computer**
*

Join us to network with other Linux & FOSS users and administrators.

*When:-* *Wednesday June 10th, 2009 - 7PM*

*What:  The Linux Boot Process*

The Linux boot process is something that usually "just works".... until it
doesn't. It's at those times when something doesn't work that some might
realize "Hey! I know almost nothing about how this thing actually gets
itself up and running!"

This talk will cover the boot process from the Power On Self Test, to the
Grub boot loader, all the way through to the loading of the kernel, the init
process, and the starting of the proper services. Opportunities for
customization, and common sources of trouble will be covered, and everyone
is invited to share their experience along the way, or just relax and take
it all in.
