Tuesday April 16th, 1996 Program Announcement:
Title: Linux on a SCREAMING Digital Alpha "PC".
Topic and speaker: Wouldn't you like to run your personal
Unix
on your own super fast, screaming Alpha system?!! And FREE
Unix,
to boot! And what has Digital to gain from offering free
Linux
on their Alpha machines? By the way, what is DEC's position
on
the new version of Unix that to be developed by SCO and HP?
...
Lots of questions ...
Jon Hall, Senior Leader in Digital's Unix Software Group
(Nashua,
N.H.), is going to come speak to us at Hounix's April 16
meeting to
answer these questions and many more. He may even tell us
how
much one of these neat PCI-bus machines might cost us. We
may
also be able even to lay hands on a small DEC Alpha to play
with
it, feel the power, make it "smoke"! Sounds like fun!
"Maddog" Jon Hall is an officer of Linux International, in
addition to his duties at Digital. He is the sponsor within
Digital of Linux. It was due to Jon's influence that Linus
Torvalds received his first Alpha, for helping with the
Linux-to-Alpha port, and for funding Linus to appear before
DEC
users at DEC User meetings. Jon says." Linux is the most
fun I
have had in my career!"
This should be an enlightening, entertaining, and downright
exciting meeting. Don't miss it!
May meeting preview: SCO will tell us why "The future of
Unix is
in good hands."
