- Hi, yours truly has been asked to represent Linux in a panel discussion
- for a Bay area unix users' group (Silicon Valley). There will be a person
- representing Coherent, and Bill Jolitz is going to talk about 386BSD. This will
- be on December 2nd, at the Cupertino Public Library. 7pm is the time.
-
- There is supposed to be a lot of people there, and so I'm asking you folks,
- Linux users/developers, for a list of things you'd like mentioned... it
- may be possible with other OSs to have one or two people accurately relate
- their OS's features, but with the multitude of contributors to Linux,
- I feel it's necessary to ask for a list of some sort via this newsgroup.
- The FAQs offer good info, but I'm also interested in what the future holds,
- as the other panelists will no doubt also talk about that topic.
-
- I've asked Ross Biro if he'd like to participate, being that he's close
- by and has done a considerable amount of development work. My angle is more
- from a user's point of view, porting issues, what's available, why my dog/cat
- likes Linux, virtual beer, etc. ;) The idea is to introduce interested
- parties to the currently available free/cheap unix packages. If there's
- anyone else in the Bay Area who's interested in participating, please email
- ASAP.
-
- I don't characterize myself as gung-ho on Linux; I like it a lot but
- would not hesitate to use a different OS if it suited me better. Just so
- happens Linux does everything I need it to and does it well. So that's
- where I'm coming from...
-
- Thanks!
