[Unix-help] None

[Robert M. Lang]

Dear Colleague,

The Unix-users group will be having a meeting on Thursday January 15th,
2004 at the Mezzanine Lounge in W20. The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss the future of Linux on campus from the perspective of plans for
IS&T support.

IS&T is currently in the process of entering a contract with RedHat Inc.
for the distribution of RedHat Network. It is crucial for us to get
feedback from Linux users on campus regarding need and perceived benefit
of such a program. For example, a blanket site license might cost a
certain dollar amount, but the cash layout may exceed a limited access
license for a set count of computers.

We urge your attendance and/or participation. If you cannot attend (and we
apologize for the short notice), please send your thoughts to
blang at mit.edu for inclusion in the discussion.

There will be a short discussion of the existing RedHat Linux update proxy
server that is currently running on MITnet.

Regards,
rml
