BLU is not just a sysadmin group; it's a user group for enthusiasts and
professionals who are interested in Linux and/or the UNIX family of
operating systems. Many of us are sysadmins, but our group

I personally think of Linux as part of the UNIX family, but I'm aware that
some people define UNIX more strictly as having descended from the original
AT&T code, and because Linux is an independent reimplementation of the
POSIX API, these people often describe Linux as UNIX-like but not actually
UNIX.

In any case, this difference of opinion doesn't interest me. Either way,
BLU is, in principle, inclusive of both Linux in particular and UNIX in
general. Admittedly, most speakers we find have tended to focus their talks
on Linux-specific topics, but that's because we only rarely find speakers
who want to give talks involving other Unixes.
