It was pointed out to me that the room number should be 3D03 (the D stands for Duckworth), and not 3B03. Other than that, the directions should be OK. Sorry for the confusion. -- Gilbert E.

MUUG Meeting, June 12, 7:30PM -- The Return of BSD

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <9fiut0$87h$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: The Return of BSD In the open source world, the word Linux is almost synonymous with Operating System. As of April 1999, 31.3% of the world's network-connected machines run Linux. Comparatively, 14.6% run BSD UNIX. Some of the world's largest web operations, such as Yahoo!, run BSD. The world's busiest FTP server, ftp.cdrom.com, uses BSD to transfer 1.4 TB of data per day. Even Microsoft's flagship Hotmail service used to run BSD. So what's the secret? Why isn't BSD more well known? This month, Roberto Urrea, Senior UNIX/NT Administrator with the University of Winnipeg's Technology Solutions Centre, will be talking about FreeBSD, about how it differs from Linux, and about running Linux programs on FreeBSD. FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD all include options to allow Linux binaries to run on these systems (at least for the Intel x86 architecture). 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. ********************************************************************** Please note: For this month only, we will be meeting at the University of Winnipeg's Duckworth Centre, which is located on Spence Street, across from the rest of the U of W campus, between Portage Ave. and Ellice Ave. The meeting will be in room 3B03, on the 3rd floor of the Duckworth Centre, which should be easy to find from the Spence Street entrance. This campus map should help you find the way: http://www.muug.mb.ca/meetings/UW-Campus-Map.gif Security personnel at the front of the main building at the U of W campus (Portage Avenue entrance) will be provided with information about this meeting, so you can always check with them if you're lost. There should be no parking problems after 5:30 PM. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ -- Gilbert E.
