The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, November 14. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
SUSE Linux Enterprise 10
"The platform for your Open Enterprise needs." That's how Novell describes
SUSE Linux 10. Since it's purchase of SUSE, Novell has been positioning
SUSE Linux as the one product line that will work from the desktop to
the enterprise server. With this goal in mind, Novell has taken steps to
provide greater power and security as well as to increase the "user
friendliness" of SUSE Linux.
In this presentation by Wayne Billing, of the University of Manitoba, we
will see a brief overview of some of the things (AutoYAST, 3D desktop,
AppArmor, XEN) that Novell is counting on to make SUSE Linux a viable
choice for enterprise desktops and servers.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm 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 our meeting location: The IBM 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. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm,
so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may
not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not
be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.)
Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice
Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also
available nearby, at Portage Place, for $3.00 for the evening. Bicycle
parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located
behind the building on Webb Place.

Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce"
and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you
to subscribe now:
http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/
The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such
as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG
members.
The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics
discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other
topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective,
we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay
involved!
