moin, moin,

both sides of town will be getting a presentation from Phoenix resident Alex
Vrenios about 'Linux Cluster Architecture', which funnily enough is the
title of his new book :).

The east side meeting is Thu, 08Aug2002. The meeting will start at 19:00 at
the Sequoia charter school.

The west side meeting is Tue, 27Aug2002. It also starts at 19:00, but will
be at GCC.

Please see the web site, http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/, for directions to the
meetings.

Info from Alex about the book and autograph sessions:

   Book signing at Chandler Borders at 2pm on Sunday, Sep 8th
   Book signing at Arrowhead Borders at 2pm on Sunday, Sep 15th

   There is a new book titled "Linux Cluster Architecture" available
   at larger book stores this month. You will learn how to

      - assemble a Linux cluster using PCs and networking hardware

      - configure the OS files and a software development environment

      - use C functions and OS calls to make these PCs work together

      - build a distributed transaction server, and then measure and
        tune it for peak overall performance and throughput

      - add near real-time performance monitoring and fault detection
        and recovery techniques for an optimal performance system

   Have a look at http://www.samspublishing.com and search "linux cluster"
   for further details.

Finally, I will be happy to autograph a book for anyone who already has a
copy with them.
