[aclug-L] Re: Meeting Annoucement for 11-08-99

["The Bobster" <thebobster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi y'all,

As a newbie to the list, I want to thank all of you for responding to my
question posted earlier in the week.

Next week I'll be attending a Linux course for prospective Linux trainers. I
have been a trainer on the NT side of the fence for a number of years, and
now I'm throwing myself into the Linux ring, devouring as much info as I
can.

It is my hope to attend the meeting on the 22nd of November, and if you
would like, a 10 or 15 minute breakdown on the Sair/GNU Linux Certification.
I am also considering attending a Red Hat Certified Systems Engineer Course
in December.

Also - Has anybody worked with TZO? www.tzo.com
Has anybody tried a Umax Ugate? I'm thinking about the 3000, as I have too
many systems for what Roadrunner offers in the way of IP addressing.

Has anybody run into any problems with Road runner and hosting out of their
homes? Would like info - thebobster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks,

Bob Reinsch

> About Linux
> -----------
> Linux is a modern, fully 32- and 64-bit operating system that runs on
> a wide variety of hardware.  Its most popular use is on PC-style
> hardware, where Linux can completely replace Windows 95, Windows 98,
> or NT.  Linux sports astounding reliability, power, flexibility,
> scalability, and networking.  Linux is the most popular OS for
> Internet servers, beating NT.  Linux also works on less-expensive
> computers than NT.
>
> Linux is developed by a worldwide team of programmers: individuals,
> companies, and universities using the Internet.  All source code is
> available, allowing peer review -- which is important for an operating
> system.
>
> ACLUG would like to show you the benefits of Linux for home and
> business use.  Feel free to attend one of our meetings or ask
> questions about Linux at aclug-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx.  You may also examine the
> archives of previous discussions on our discussion lists at
> http://www.complete.org/mailinglists/archives/ or join the list;
> instructions for doing so are at http://www.aclug.org/mailinglists/.
> Announcements for upcoming ACLUG meetings and events will always be sent
> first to the aclug-announce mailing lists.
