Developed under the GNU >>>General Public License, the source code for Linux is freely available to >>>everyone. Apart from the fact that it's freely distributed, Linux's >>>functionality, adaptability, and robustness has made it the main >>>alternative >>>to proprietary Unix and Microsoft operating systems. IBM, >>>Hewlett-Packard and >>>other giants of the computing world have embraced Linux and support its >>>ongoing development. More than a decade after its initial release, Linux is >>>being utilized worldwide as a server platform primarily. Its use as a home >>>and office desktop operating system is also on the rise. Local computer >>>vendor and service provider Red Seven (http://www.redseven.biz/) provides >>>computer systems and IT services to the home user and small business. >>>National governments in countries such as China, India, Germany, Singapore, >>>Brazil, and many more are adopting Linux as their official operating >>>system in >>>both servers and desktops. Some governments are adopting economic policies >>>around a future boom in Linux. >>> >>>The Phoenix Linux User Group is the local Linux user's group (LUG) for the >>>Phoenix area. Like any other computer user group, it is populated by >>>hobbyists and computer professionals, and provides a forum for discussion. >>>Unlike many other computer user groups, LUGs also provide the same >>>functions >>>as a "regional office" for IBM, Macintosh, Microsoft, or Sun; they have the >>>responsibility to train, support, and educate Linux users, coordinate Linux >>>consultants, advocate Linux as a computing solution, and serve as >>>liaison to >>>local news outlets. Because Linux is Free Software or Open Source >>>software, >>>LUGs are entirely volunteer based. PLUG holds several monthly >>>meetings: one >>>in the southwest Phoenix area, one in Glendale, one in Mesa, and one in >>>Tempe. >>>PLUG membership is free and anyone may join. PLUG also welcomes users and >>>fans of all Free Software and Open Source Software such as GNU and FreeBSD. >>> >>>For more information, see: >>>The Phoenix Linux User's Group website: http://plug.phoenix.az.us >>>Linux Online: http://www.linux.org >>> >>>-- >>>Alexander >>> >>> > > --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
