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 26th April 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 demonstrations on: 
SAMBA   - A LAN manager especially for interconnecting Win96, Win/NT, WfW and Win 3.11 systems.
WILLOWS - Application Interface for Windows (MS Windows) which will allow windows applications
                    to operate on Linux based systems.


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.
