CLUE Newsletter, March 1997
======================================================

CLUE is open to anyone with an interest in Linux.  Whether you are a Unix
   expert or are simply new to Linux and want to learn more about the
   Internet and Operating System phenomena that Linux represents. All 
   interested parties are invited to attend CLUE User Group meetings.

   Let's learn from each other!

The Colorado Linux Users & Enthusiasts (CLUE), normally meets the
   third Thursday of every month. The next meeting will be at
   7:00pm on February 20th, 1997. The location will be Smoky Hill High
   School, located at 16100 E. Smoky Hill Rd. in Southeast
   Aurora.  A software library is available and door prizes
   are available at many meetings.

   CLUE extends its many thanks to Smoky Hill High School and
   their faculty sponsor, Darlene Olguin, for the use of their 
   facilities.

======================================================

This Month's Topic: 
	General Installation Questions in preparation for April Install Fest.

   This will be Group Discussion, led by the entire CLUE Board.  Bring
	your questions concerning problems you've had with installation,
	where to get drivers for supported hardware, tips for others on how
   to install particular distributions or drivers for various hardware.
   This will be an open discussion, free format.  What is important is
   to identify the problems so that, as a group (via the new CLUE-TALK
   mailing list), we can find answers before the Installation Festival
   in April.

   Meeting Schedule:
   7:00-7:10       Introduction 
   7:10-7:20       Anouncements/Software Library Update/Door Prizes
   7:20-8:50       Group Discussion - Installation Issues
   9:00-10:00      CLUE Board Meeting

   Note:  we *MUST* be out by 9pm!  Please keep this in mind, as we've
   been staying over the past few meetings.

Next Month's Topic:
   "Commercial Applications available for Linux"

The Colorado Linux Users & Enthusiasts (CLUE), normally meets the
   third Thursday of every month. The next meeting will be at
   7:00pm on March 20th. The location will be Smoky Hill High
   School, located at 16100 E. Smoky Hill Rd. in Southeast
   Aurora.  A software library is available and door prizes
   are available at many meetings.

   CLUE extends its many thanks to Smoky Hill High school for the 
   use of their facilities.

Notes from February meeting:

   "The Future of the Linux kernel" -- A Presentation by Linus Torvalds
   By Linus Torvalds

   In this humorous videotaped presentation, Linus spoke about the beginnings
	of Linux, the growth to date, the implementation of the Clone System call,
   cross platform porting, the Linux Trademark issue, Linus' move to 
   California and many other issues.  Linus also responded to numerous 
	audience questions during this 1.5 hour session.  At the end of the session
	Linus became the proud owner of a real penguin.

	This video was recorded at UseLinux by Mark Bolzern, president of WGS, 
	Mark has made the tape generally available to individuals and 
	User Groups.  This tape has several additional sessions on it with
	even better information, and better recordings, than Linus' session.

   Anyone wishing to acquire a copy of this tape can visit the web page
   at http://www.LinuxMall.com/Allprod/00128.html for more details.

   Mark and his wife Virginia also had the opportunity to treat Linus to a 
   trip to Disneyland.  A picture of the trip can be found at 
   http://www.LinuxMall.com/announce.html under the choice "Disneyland".

	problem.
