We don't have much of a Linux presence at the Resource Center, just yet.
We've got a Sun 386i with 150 MB drive, a diskless Sun 3/50, and a 
NeXT '030 cube with an 80 MB drive. Our Internet mail server runs Linux,
but that's not a general public-access system. Also, the Resource Center
manager, Paul Watts, is not convinved that there's significant interest 
in Unix and Linux systems in the Resource Center. I guess not enough
people are asking for Linux.

Robert Luoma and I frequently work on things at the Resource Center,
on the BCS web server and on Linux/Unix meeting topics and presentations.
You're certainly welcome to drop in and see what we're up to, and
see if there's any volunteer activities you'd like to take on.
