Mailing List implemented.

LUGS (Sacramento) now has a mailing list. Last meeting I announced the list would be hosted at brie.com, but since Mike Machado offered his expertise, I decided to take him up on his offer. Lug-nuts at brie.com is online, but I plan on transferring the names to Mikes list which he hosts at Majordomo@cheapnet.net. Until the next meeting we will run the lists in parallel. Join and find out the latest with LUGS. To subscribe send a message to Majordomo@cheapnet.net with a blank subject line and in the body place:

Basic Linux Info

You are invited to the Linux Users Group Sacramento (LUGS) meeting. Linux is a UNIX type operating system. Among the heavyweights, Linux has been adopted by Wells Fargo Bank, NASA, Cisco, PG&E, and the United States Post Office for production applications. Linus Torvalds began the original creation of Linux in 1991 which is now supported by thousands of developers around the world. The source to Linux is open, so it allows for complete customization. Come to the meeting to learn more, or share your current knowledge.
