The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be continuing its monthly meetings
of the Linux/System-Administration SIG (special interest group), with a
meeting on Tuesday, May 21.  The meeting topic for this month is as follows:

   TeX and LaTeX on Linux
   Presented by Michael Doob, of the University of Manitoba, Math Department.

   TeX and Linux have similar histories in many ways. Both are large
   (suites of) software, both started out as a one-man project that grew
   with the help of innumerable volunteers, both are available for free,
   or can be purchased on a CD-ROM for convenience, both are completely
   obtainable over the Internet, and both have had a major impact on a
   broad spectrum of users.

   TeX is the older of the two projects, and in fact a TeX distribution
   (the Linux T series) was one of the earlier packages available for use
   with Linux (it is remarkable in itself that after a dozen years TeX
   remains the premier typesetting engine for mathematics). Different
   packages available for use with TeX have been evolving to address some
   of its deficiencies (which we'll talk about), and now Linux users are
   contributing to the TeX world. We'll talk about a relatively new
   release, teTeX by Thomas Essers, which was designed to run under Linux,
   but is now spreading to other UNIX platforms.

The SIG holds its meetings at 7:30 PM on the third Tuesday of every month
(the week after the MUUG general meeting) from September to November, and
January to May. (There are no meetings in December, June, July and August.)
Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member
to attend.

Unless otherwise indicated, SIG meetings are held at ISM, at 400 Ellice
Ave.  Please try to be in the lobby, and signed in by about 7:15 PM. At
7:30 PM sharp, we are escorted up to the meeting room on the second floor.
Don't be late, or you won't get in. (Our thanks to Doug Jackson, of ISM,
for hosting these meetings.)
