There are several Free/OpenSource database management packages available, including MySQL, Firebird, The Berkeley Database and PostgreSQL.

Bill has given many MUG presentations over the years, and this month, we're happy to have him give us a review of the PostgreSQL Database Management System.

8:00pm Election for the MUG Board of Directors

At our January MUG meeting, we opened the floor to nominations for the board of directors. We have 6 board positions, and there were 6 people nominated. Those people are:

  1. Jim McQuillan
  2. Jim Glutting
  3. Dick Williams
  4. Duane Brown
  5. Dave Satwicz
  6. Jorge Castro

At the February meeting, we'll again open the floor to nominations, and then we'll hold the election.

8:15pm 2nd presentation - Mondo Archive by Jim McQuillan

One area that gets ignored by many people is a System Level Backup. That is a backup of the operating system, that can be used to rebuild the system, in the case of a hard drive failure.

Mondo Archive is a wonderful tool for backing up entire hard drives, or parts of a drive, and it also includes the ability to make a bootable CDRom or boot/root floppy set that can be used to quickly rebuild a system after the hard drive has been replaced. Jim will go through a quick overview of using Mondo, just to give you an idea of its features.
