Indeed, more than the PLUG mailing-list crew might find it interesting!

>               Date: 27 May 1998, 6 PM (Refreshments: 5.30PM)

> 
> ABSTRACT:
> 
> The now near 30 year old Unix operating system has provided many
> advances
> in operating system technology - some new, some simply repackaged.
> There are few areas of the computing industry where 30 year old
> technology
> is still accepted, and Unix has earned our respect during its
> lifetime.
> 
> However, it appears that the Unix standardization efforts of the early
> 1990s, and the emergence of Windows-NT, have signalled the death knell
> for
> Unix - computer vendors are shying away from delivering and supporting
> Unix environments, and fewer software companies are developing for the
> Unix platform.
> 
> In 1997, the then 4 year old Linux operating system was the only
> non-Microsoft operating system to increase its market share.  In both
> the
> workstation and server markets, Linux continues to grow in popularity,
> and is increasingly supported by commercial software vendors.
> 
> So what is this Linux operating system, and how is it growing in a
> Microsoft dominated world?  What does Linux bring to the table, and
> how
> is it able to do so given the decline of Unix?  This talk will present
> answers to these questions by positioning the Linux operating system
> in
> today's computing environment, outlining its developments and
> successes
> to date, and suggesting its likely role in the near future.
> 
> If there is sufficient interest, it is planned to follow up this talk
> with 
> a Linux workshop in July 1998 on how to easily set up and manage a
> Linux 
> system environment (on its own or co-existing with Windows).

> ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
>     Chris McDonald completed his BSc in Computer Science and Applied
>     Mathematics at UWA in 1984 and immediately proceeded to
> postgraduate
>     studies. His PhD, awarded in 1989, addressed the formal
> specification
>     of command language interpreters, and in particular the
> application
>     of functional programming techniques to command interpreter design
> and
>     use. Chris was appointed as a Lecturer in 1988 and promoted to
> Senior
>     Lecturer in 1994. Chris teaches in the areas of operating systems,
>     computer networking and, distributed systems programming, and
> together
>     with these areas, his research interests include the Linda
> parallel
>     programming model, programming language implementation, the Linux
>     operating system, and golf.
