Message-ID: Hello Perl Mongers, This is your friendly reminder about our meeting this week. It's at the same time (7 PM on the third Thursday of the month), but we're moving the location from our normal monthly meeting place to a new one, the offices of Websense, at 10240 Sorrento Valley Road (not Sorrento Valley Blvd). Parking will be in the back, and the meeting will be in the building to your right when you cross the bridge. There will not be food provided, as there had been in previous meetings, but there will be people, discussion, and if we're really good, presentations. Drop me a quick note if you're planning to attend, and if you're really ambitious, let me know that you're planning on doing a presentation. I look forward to seeing you all!

I have recently taken a position as a technical support coordinator for a K-12 private school. The network has around 150-200 networked devices and a SonicWall security appliance. So here's the question. I just purchased a Ubuntu server from system76.com. I will be installing Request Tracker, Nagios, enkive, etc. These can be installed from source, from Ubuntu repository, or sometimes from CPAN. What factors should I consider in choosing an install method? What other tools (or books even) do you suggest for tracking and managing a network of this size? I realize that is a pretty general question, but I am just looking for whatever words of wisdom I can get before launching my new career. Any or all advice/comments/warnings are welcome. TIA, Rick Bychowski
