                            Linux Data Base Madness
                 ---------------------------------------------

                          Monday, January 11, 7-9 pm
                                    I B M
                     600 Anton Bl, second floor, Costa Mesa
                    (NW corner of Anton and Av of the Arts)

Many vendors are jumping into the Linux world lately. A bevy of
commercial data base systems for Linux have recently been released,
including Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and DB2. Of course, the original
DBMSs for Linux remain, including Solid and MySQL. Perhaps you've
wondered why you should want to use one of these commercial systems
when free alternatives are available?

Member and Data Base Princess Dierdre Saoirse has used or experimented
with all these programs. At the UUASC January meeting, she will tell us
about the relative strengths of the various platforms and the requirements
of each of the them. Bring your questions!

The 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, and BSD.
This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden your
skills and knowledge. 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.
We are always looking for interesting presentations and your suggestions
are most welcome.

Please join us this month and bring along your friends or co-workers. Also,
please forward this announcement to others who may be interested and feel
free to post it on BBSs, both electronic and physical. If you receive more
than one announcement by email, please let us know so we can keep our lists
current. Thanks for listening.
