[Muug-announce] MUUG Meeting, April 11, 7:30PM -- Why Linux on a Floppy?

[Gilbert E. Detillieux]

This message is being sent out to all MUUG members (and a few potential
members) who have provided us with an e-mail address.  In the future, we
will be sending these announcements only to people who subscribe to our new
mailing list, <muug-announce at muug.mb.ca>.  This is an opt-in mailing list,
using the GNU Mailman list server, so you will have full control over
whether or not you wish to receive such messages.

However, this means that you have to subscribe to this list yourself if you
wish to continue receiving such announcements in the future.  Do so today,
so you don't forget and miss announcements.  (This list will continue to
have a very low volume of traffic, so don't worry about getting more mail.)

You can subscribe through the convenient web-based interface:

	http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/muug-announce

You can also do so directly via e-mail, as follows:

	echo subscribe | mail muug-announce-request at muug.mb.ca

To get help:

	echo help | mail muug-announce-request at muug.mb.ca

Hope to see you all on muug-announce and, of course, at the next meeting!

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, April 11.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   Why Linux on a Floppy?

   Kevin McGregor, MUUG's ever-informative newsletter editor, will be
   describing and demonstrating a few Linux distributions that go against
   the current "bigger is better" trend. These are small, special-purpose
   distributions optimized for minimal hardware requirements, usually
   residing entirely on one or two floppy disks.

   Why would anyone want to run an operating system from a floppy? And
   how much functionality can you fit on one of those, anyway? We're not
   talking even a Zip disk here! Kevin will answer these questions and
   more.

The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June.  (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.

   **********************************************************************
   New Location: Once again this month, and from now on, the meeting will
   be at the ISM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and
   Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception
   desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting
   room.

   Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot
   across Ellice from ISM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is
   also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening.
