I have a punch down tool that you can use, an "auto stripping" tool

the Kinnerton
Way project too.

And I bought some small screwdrivers for "Messy Church" so those can
be used too
as long any work does not clash.

What is the plan for buying consumables like cable and sockets etc?

As far as I'm aware the builders are dealing with installing CAT5
sockets etc, all we need to do is put the computers and server etc in.

Just a thought as for cable perhaps for making up short lengths the
enginners could leave us any off cuts or left over cable,   we can get
ends easy enough it would be a great opportunity to teach people how to
make up cables, etc


Might be an option.

Before someone shouts out I know how,   there are several younger
members (not that I am impying they don't know how to do this) and
myself and maybe one or two others who may want some practice,


I know how to do it but I'm not very good at it :-P

end of the day any opportunity to teach / learn should be taken.  I am
sure that given the shortage of IT techie people in this country they
would be happy to help as that builds up skills for the future.

Yeah. I was reading an article about Redhat certification last night, I was thinking that might be an interesting thing to do as a group. Okay maybe not Redhat specific certficiation but maybe something based on LPIC?

I know a fair few people on the list will probably know what the LPIC covers but I figure actually being able to do the exam and getting the certification might be a good option for some folks.

When i figure out how to send messages to the Exeter list I may forward
this e-mail to there too.


Send e-mails (to or cc) to exeter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
