If you are looking for an hands-on introduction to ultrasparc hardware,
or are considering doing a solaris install on your home box
(sparc OR intel) and are in the Los Angeles, California area, you may want
to come on over June 1st:


                              UUASC-LA
        Unix Users Association of Southern California -- Los Angeles
                       June 2000 Meeting

                SPARC Guts! (Plus General Install-fest)

             -----------------------------------------------

                    Thursday, June 1, 7-9:30 pm

                         Please be on time

Special advisory:

Allowing entrance to those arriving late is anticipated to be a little bit 
more difficult this time. So, if possible, please arrive a minute or two 
before 7pm.

Topic:

Numerous UUASC members will demonstrate their Sun SPARC machines to allow 
the rest of us an opportunity to get a "hands-on" feel for the equipment we 
have heard so much about in recent email discussions. We will see what a 
real Solaris installation looks like. In addition, to provide us with an 
interesting "compare and contrast" segment, a number of Linux users plan to 
exhibit their computers running Linux. Plus, the night's plans also 
tentatively call for a Solaris x86 install.

If you have your own computer, you are most welcome to bring it -- but, 
please send an email first to Phil Brown ( phil@bolthole.com ), who is 
co-ordinating this installation extravaganza, to let him know what you plan 
to demonstrate for us.

So far, we have commitments from members planning to share with us an old
SPARC 4, an Ultra 5, and possibly an Ultra 1. A shared monitor, mouse,
mousepad, and keyboard will be provided, so you can keep your luggage to a
minimum if you wish.

Additionally, there will be an opportunity to get involved in other basic
install activities. For example, one person will be bringing his Solaris on
Intel box to install Oracle8i on it. If you want to see how that is done,
come on along! Or, if you have something "weird" you would like installed
on your UNIX box, bring it along, together with a monitor, powerstrip, etc.
and the nice folks at the meeting will try to help assist you.
Dont forget NETWORK CORDS if you have them.

Location:

"International" Room on first floor. [Keycard access required, so be on time!]
Merisel, Inc (the UNMARKED five-story building on the corner)
200 Continental Blvd  (2101 El Segundo Blvd)
El Segundo, California

(This is about 2 miles south of LAX airport)


Directions:

Coming from the EAST --
Basically, you can take the 105 Freeway to Nash Street. Take Nash SOUTH, 
away from the airport for about five long blocks, and turn right on El 
Segundo Blvd. Take the first right, which is Continental Blvd. and the big 
ugly five-story building on that corner is where we will be meeting.

Directions from other places are similar.

Coming from the 405 Freeway -
Exit on El Segundo, and head west.  It is about half a mile, just past the 
overhead light rail track.

Coming from Sepulveda Blvd, a.k.a. Highway 1 -
Go east on El Segundo, which is the big traffic lights where the huge white 
"Pacific Corporate Towers" are located. Continental is then the first left, 
and Merisel is the first driveway on the right.

Once again, go into the five-story, ugly, UNMARKED building on the corner, 
not the one actually labeled Merisel that is next to it. The door is on the 
east side, and has 2101 over it.

There should be lots of "visitor" slots you can grab in the parking lots.

       --------------------------------------------------

UUASC is for all persons using UNIX either personally or professionally, or 
interested in learning more about UNIX. We recognize all varieties of UNIX, 
including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, and 
BSD. This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden 
your skills and knowledge.

There are two UUASC chapters serving Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
Meeting locations for each chapter are detailed at our web site,
www.uuasc.org.  Please visit our web site.

There are no dues or other membership requirements. More than 100 persons 
receive our monthly email newsletter. Meeting attendance varies to as high 
as 40. Volunteers manage the club and more volunteers are always needed.

Los Angeles County Chapter meetings are held the first Thursday of each 
month from 7 to 9:30 pm ( or whenever we feel like stopping ). Generally, 
meetings include a technical presentation on a hardware or software topic of 
current interest to the UNIX community and a round-table discussion of 
current topics of interest to the group.
UUASC-LA needs future topic suggestions (and volunteers to present)!!
