Hi all IBM-PC users and Linux users.

The Sydney Linux Users Group (SLUG) will be meeting the last Friday of
the month.  Friday the 31st May at the University of Technology
Sydney, just opposite the Sydney Central Station complex. Meeting at
6:30pm for a 7:00pm start.

What is Linux ?
===============

Linux is a multiuser, multitasking and multiprogramming 32 bit
operating system that is fully (POSIX) compliant UNIX system. The best
news is Linux is FREE and and it comes with over 600Mb of FREE
applications programs, device drivers, Graphical User Interfaces (GUI),
graphics programs, system utilities, internet and communication tools
(eg: email, http, ftp, Netscape etc.). You can run Linux on Intel 386,
486, Pentium++ boxes as well as on Motorola 68xxx, Sunstations, DEC
Alpha (64 bit systems), SGI, and the list goes on.

Are there any joining Fees ?
============================

No, the only fee you will pay is if you wish to partake in Tea, Coffee
& Biscuits at the nominal charge of only 50 cents.

What is on at the next meeting ?
================================

There will be a demonstrations on WILLOWS - Application Interface for
Windows (MS Windows) which will allow windows applications to operate
on Linux based systems.

Del of Matra Internetworks will talk some on the technical aspects of
running an ISP.

What will SLUG do for me ?
==========================

SLUG is primarily a meeting of the minds, a place to learn about
Linux(Unix), discussion on the latest applications s/w, system tools,
MSDOS, Win 3.1, Win96 and Win/NT connectivity and cross applications.
(This last group would be of keen interest to MicroSoft users eg:
aus.computers.ibm.pc'ers).  Linux can be easily configured to look like
a LAN manager (ie: File & System resource manager for connecting
together numerous Win95, WfW, Win 3.11 systems using SAMBA).

SLUG members are made up of Professional, semi-professional, hobbyist,
and just those how like to play & gain knowledge of UNIX and the vast
number of FREELY available application packages. SLUG offers access to
Linux CDROMS, Video's, Magazines and Documentation especially to help
newbies experience the joys of using Linux.  We assist all newbies in
setting up the machines and strive to answer all questions be they
related to inter-connectivity, applications, core system issues or
general "Does anyone know of a .... package that can do ......? "
questions.

If your machine is portable, bring it along to the meeting and we will
help you set it up for Linux.
