Welcome to the home page of the Triangle Linux Users Group, dedicated to the Triangle area of North Carolina including Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Research Triangle Park. TriLUG is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit for the purpose of promoting and supporting the use of Linux and related Free and Open Source programs in the Triangle area.
We have monthly meetings -- 7pm on the 2nd Thursday of every month at Red Hat headquarters on NC State's Centennial Campus [directions]. Our meetings average around 90 people in attendance.
And we maintain a very active mailing list -- currently over 600 subscribers!
Here you will find up-to-date (well, mostly) TriLUG information, links to Linux resources, and ways to meet and communicate with Linux and other Free and Open Source enthusiasts locally.

Have you ever wanted to cook your food over an SSL connection? Do any of your kitchen appliances have a penguin sticker on them?
This month's program will be a panel discussion on Women in Technology, and the issues that women face in a male-dominated industry. The discussion will be led by five local women who work in various areas of technology, and will be moderated by Janet Babin of the Marketplace Innovations Desk at WUNC.
There have been many tutorials on DNSSEC in the past, but few have focused on just how easy it really is to deploy secure DNS. In this presentation, Alan Clegg will provide an easy to understand and follow tutorial on rapid deployment of DNSSEC.
Additionally, Alan will comment on the newly released CERT advisory regarding DNS Infrastructure vulnerability.
