  Topics: 1) "True Crypt"
          by Phillip Tribble

          2) "Recovering Data with GNU/Linux"
          by Marty Pauley


Phillip will demonstrate what True Crypt does and how to use it. He
show that on the server side, it can be easy to do backups because all
you have to backup is a single file rather than multiple files and
directories. True Crypt creates a file and mounts the file as a
device; if the user creates a 500G junk file, it will be read as a
500MB partition. Also, Phillip will explain the obvious security
benefits.


There are many ways you can lose data: your hard disk may fail; a
disgruntled employee may purge important email from his Outlook
folders; your password may be safely locked inside your browser; or
you may just not be able to remember where you put your files.
Fortunately basic data recovery in these situations is quite easy on a
GNU/Linux system and Marty will show us how.


Other items on the agenda are:
1. Introduction of new members, news about Linux/Open Source,
   general announcements, Q&A
2. Auction

All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software
are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting.
Membership is open to anyone. There are no membership dues or entrance
fees.

After the meeting, we will continue chatting over a few beers.

About TLUG
----------
TLUG is a non-profit, non-political organization established in June
of 1994 to exchange information on the use of Linux and Free Software
Foundation tools.  TLUG has an active mailing list, home page, and
regular physical meetings.  Discussions are primarily held in English,
but non-English speakers are encouraged to come and participate.
We especially want to encourage Japanese people to attend and will make
efforts to support a bilingual meeting.

TLUG hosts technical meetings every odd month on the 2nd Saturday, and
nomikai's every even month on the 3rd Friday.

The TLUG home page is available at http://www.tlug.jp
