LOCAL BCS Linux & Unix Users Group Meeting -- 07/19/95

[guybz at world.std.com (Guy W Bzibziak)]

Meeting Topic: Matt Welsh on "Troubleshooting & Repairing a Linux System"

	Join us on 19 July for the Next Best Thing to having Linus on Tap!
	Matt Welsh in Person!
	Linus got the ball rolling,
	But Matt put the ball in your court!
	Come hear the author of "Linux Installation & Getting Started", 
	"Porting Applications to Linux" and co-author of "Running Linux" 
	with Lar Kaufman.

	If you have "shot yourself in the foot" (and who hasn't) come 
	down to MIT & hear how to bind your wounds and aim better next time.
	
	Even if you **haven't** shot yourself in the foot yet, bring your 
	copy of "Running Linux" for Matt & Lar to autograph, or your copy 
	of "Linux Installation..." for Matt's signature.

Linux is a UNIX-like operating system built around POSIX standards.  From
its inception less than three years ago, it was developed over the
Internet by a group of people who (for the most part) have never seen
each other, and now runs on an (estimated) 1,000,000 computer systems. 
The operating system (and the source code for it) is free to anyone who
wants it.  This is probably the largest development project ever
accomplished using the Internet.
