>>>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.
