The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, February 21. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
UNIX@Work, UNIX@Home
Once upon a time there was a LAN, a LAN where chaos reigned... OK, maybe
it wasn't quite that dramatic, but the early days of networking were quite
different than today for Gilbert Detillieux, a system and network
administrator for the University of Manitoba's department of Computer
Science for over 16 years. In this mini-presentation, in what we hope will
become a semi-regular series of UNIX@Work/Home presentations, Gilbert will
describe how the LAN-scape changed over those years at the University, and
the role UNIX has played in taming the wild frontier of the Internet.
Starting from scratch with your home network? Where do you start? Where
do you go from here? Kevin McGregor is dealing with these very issues in
setting up a network in his new home. He will cover hardware and software,
clients and servers, backups, data integrity, network infrastructure,
cabling plants and much more, all in less than 30 minutes!
Note: We have changed the date for this month's meeting to the 3rd
Tuesday, so that folks can spend Valentine's Day with their sweethearts.
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, or in a lot
across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is
also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening.

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!
