June 12 at GNUbies in NYC: Wendell Anderson on choosing a GNU/Linux distribution

12
We are pleased to have Wendell Anderson back once more to speak to GNUbies
on “GNU/Linux Distributions: Which One for You?: An Update” this
Wednesday, June 12, 2002. Wendell’s past presentations on GNU/Linux
distributions have been very helpful and well-received, and there have
been many developments with both new and familiar distributions recently.
Whether you are about to try Linux for the first time, are considering
upgrading or trying a new distribution, or simply want to keep up with
what is happening with GNU/Linux distributions this talk should be of
interest.
Wendell is as a consultant to businesses in Information Technology,
primarily to the International Hospitality (Hotel) Industry in Bermuda and
the Caribbean. He has represented GTE Telenet Services for International
Data Network services in late 1980s, and as a full time user, reseller and
consultant for SuSE (linux), GmBH in the mid to late 1990s.

The meeting, as usual, will be held at the IBM building in Manhattan —

~~~~~~~~Procedures required for attending meetings at IBM~~~~~~~~~~~

IBM has asked us to implement these security measures for our
meetings. In particular, it will be necessary to email us your
name in advance if you plan to attend, so that we can give them
a list of the people who will be attending. It will also be
necessary to bring photo ID in order to get in to the meeting.
We regret the need for these measures. Please send email listing your
full name as it appears on your ID to lo+0206@eskimo.com with the Subject
“June 2002 GNUbies” (note this is a “plus” not the letter “t”).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

People have requested that their names be kept on a cumulative list of
those who attend our meetings so that they will still be able to attend
if they don’t get a chance to respond some month. We started a cumulative
list last month and henceforth will assume, unless you indicate otherwise,
that when you submit your name you would like it to be added to this
cumulative list as well as the list for the current meeting.
