On January 31, 1996 at 7:00 P.M. the Greater New Hampshire Linux User's Group, 
Digital Equipment
Corporation, the University of New Hampshire, the Northern New England Unix 
User's Group, and the
Association of Computing Machinery are proud to co-sponsor a talk by Linus 
Torvalds, the architect of
the Linux Operating System.  Admission to the talk is free.

The talk will be held in the Iddles Auditorium (L101) of Parsons Hall on the 
University of New
Hampshire campus.  In addition to the talk door prizes will be offered, and 
there will be computer
systems running Linux, demonstrating the capabilities of the operating system.

Linux is a freely distributed multi-tasking, multi-user, internet-ready 
operating system that can
either be copied over the Internet, or purchased inexpensively off CD-ROMS.  
It runs on Intel-class
machines and (lately) Alpha processors.  Ports to other systems are in 
progress.  In addition to
getting the binaries for the operating system, compilers and networking code, 
the sources are also
freely available and distributable.

Members of each organization will be available to talk about their 
relationship with Linux, and to
invite people to join their organizations to help promote the use of Linux, 
UNIX and computer systems
in general.

Directions to the facility are below, and a campus map is available at
