   			The LUUG Lectures

    		  UKUUG - London Unix User Group



    Thursday 29th March 2001, 19:00-ish


    No lecture this month, so more time for discussion of Life, Unix,
and
    Everything. Meet at the Rising Sun around 19:00, and move on for
food
    later.


    Lectures wanted!

    LUUG is always on the lookout for interesting talks on subjects
related
    to Unix, Networking, Open Source, Security and so on. Can you
suggest
    someone who could give us a talk? Perhaps volunteer yourself?

    SuSE have generously donated a copy of their 7.1 Professional
    distribution to LUUG, which will be awarded to the first person to
find
    (or be) a speaker for us.


    AICS

    The Association of Independent Computer Specialists are holding a
talk
    on Linux on the evening of 3rd April. Details are below. The venue
is
    an imposing place, so this might be a good one to invite a doubting
    boss along to!


    The LUUG lectures are sponsored by the UK Unix systems User Group.
