Greetings LUG members!

Here's some things I'm weak on in Linux despite decades of
using it and could possibly use a presentation on:

AWK.  I haven't used this yet.

Advanced SED.

Advanced VI or VIM.

Advanced BASH.

Even RCS or CVS.

How GRUB works and what the difference between installing it
and updating it is, especially, differences from LILO or rEFInd.

How (U)EFI works.

How GUID partition tables work on Linux.

All the 10 new filesystems, /sys this /dev/thing that.  To be
honest I've never understood the point of devfs or udevd either.

What sysfs is and how it works and why it exists.

I just went over the past meeting list of KWLUG (and found a lot of
stuff I was interested in) but I don't think any of these have been
covered.

Also there could be a link to the kwlug-announce mailing list on the
home page, I only found out about it when someone mentioned it here
on this list.

Thanks,
Tom
