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. *** ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ # I'm not anti-social, I'm pro-individual. - der.hans _______________________________________________ PLUG-announce mailing list - PLUG-announce@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce PLUG Website at http://plug.phoenix.az.us
