Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 21. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: UNIX@Work, UNIX@Home Once upon a time there was a LAN, a LAN where chaos reigned... OK, maybe it wasn't quite that dramatic, but the early days of networking were quite different than today for Gilbert Detillieux, a system and network administrator for the University of Manitoba's department of Computer Science for over 16 years. In this mini-presentation, in what we hope will become a semi-regular series of UNIX@Work/Home presentations, Gilbert will describe how the LAN-scape changed over those years at the University, and the role UNIX has played in taming the wild frontier of the Internet. Starting from scratch with your home network? Where do you start? Where do you go from here? Kevin McGregor is dealing with these very issues in setting up a network in his new home. He will cover hardware and software, clients and servers, backups, data integrity, network infrastructure, cabling plants and much more, all in less than 30 minutes! Note: We have changed the date for this month's meeting to the 3rd Tuesday, so that folks can spend Valentine's Day with their sweethearts. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

The meeting topic for this month is as follows: BrandZ - Running Linux in Solaris 10 Zones With the release of Solaris 10, two new important features were added to the operating system: zones and dtrace. With zones, multiple instances of the OS can be configured, enabling a virtualized deployment environment. In this presentation by Sun's Willem Van Schaik, we will look into the next phase, called BrandZ, which allows the installation of non-Solaris operating systems like Linux and BSD into a zone. Linux running in a Solaris Zone opens up new possiblities, like analyzing and debugging Linux programs with DTrace. BrandZ is still under development, but try-out versions are available as part of OpenSolaris and Solaris Express. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).
