Keywords: Unix Linux BLU.ORG Student Computing Printing Meeting Topic for February: "Linux for College Students: Using Linux for the Practical Solution of Computer Interfacing" Presented by: Lar Kaufman <Lark at walden.com>, co-author of "Running Linux" ABSTRACT With many students now using personal and/or laptop computers to assist them with school work, a problem soon becomes apparent to the student... how to get the school computer and their machine to interoperate with each other. Not only that, but how can you share files between different platforms? Lar Kaufman, co-author of "Running Linux", will be presenting practical solutions to various computing problems using Linux. Most importantly, he will illustrate how to take your computer & be able to interface with your school's computer in order to share files on: *Chart Plotting *Graphics File Conversion *Word Processing *Spreadsheets *Data Lar will show how these things can be accomplished (without spending a ton of money) and what is involved from his experiences as law student. As an added bonus, he will also be answering questions on printing with Linux. Who: Boston Linux & Unix Group [BLU.ORG] Date: 19 February 1997, Wednesday Time: 7:00 pm. Place: MIT, Building 1 - Room 390 <<--- New Bldg & Room No.!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Boston Linux & Unix Group [BLU.ORG], is the successor to the Boston Computer Society's Linux & Unix User Group. We want to promote the awareness and use of Open Systems, and to educate the public and our members about Open Systems. Linux is a UNIX-like operating system built around POSIX standards. >From its inception less than six 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. It has been ported to at least the following platforms: Intel, SPARC, Alpha, MIPS, PPC, and M68K. This is probably the largest development project ever accomplished using the Internet.
