Summary: user groups for linux et al. in australia
Keywords: australia linux *bsd user group list
Well, I finally finished uni, which was keeping me from getting to this for
the last few months.
This is really meant as an interim release so I can get some more feedback - I
*intend* (like before :) to post it roughly every month (I'll probably set up
an auto-poster before long, to make sure it does happen).
Once again, any feedback should go to andrew@bing.apana.org.au or
andrew@unico.com.au - I'm happy to receive suggestions and questions about it.
Enjoy,
Andrew.

the following address :
andrew@bing.apana.org.au

I *cannot* guarantee that this list is completely up to date (or accurate)
100% of the time, so i'd *really* appreciate updates. I'm especially keen on
getting more *BSD people on this list.
You can get the list from one of two places :
i) off of the USENET newsgroups aus.computers.linux, aus.computers and
comp.os.linux.announce
ii) by sending mail to linux-ug@bing.apana.org.au
(Make sure you have a valid "From:" header !)

the facilities ideal.
