KWLUG Meeting: Monday, April 1, 2019, 7pm

Bob B will give us an introduction to OpenVAS, the Open Vulnerability Access Scanner, including how he used Proxmox to set up his demo lab.

Victor Kofia will discuss NixOS and the Nix package manager. Nix takes a declarative approach to systems configurations, and all upgrades/rollbacks are atomic. It bills itself as "the purely functional Linux distribution."

Update: Bob took a screencast of his desktop during the presentation, which he combined with the audio from the podcast. Get it here: https://archive.org/download/kwlug-2019-04-01-openvms-nixos/KWLUG-OpenVAS-Proxmox-joined.mp4

Also, Bob provided some additional information following his presentation. He writes:
