Enterprise Management Consulting: Sunday 6th June 1999
by Alasdair G Kergon 01 Jun '99

Enterprise Management Consulting Oxfordshire Linux User Group Computing Laboratory Lecture Theatre Sunday 6th June 1999, 6.30pm Enterprise Management Consulting began by providing consultancy to blue chip clients - JP Morgan, Andersen Consulting, CSC - mostly as trading floor support. Then early last year they saw that Linux was rapidly capable of becoming a "one size fits all" operating system and last September they became Red Hat commercial support partners. Since then they've been bending everyone's ear about Linux and convincing their existing customers to convert from NT or Novell to Linux. They currently support around 30 commercial Linux sites across the UK. EMC will speak about some of the conversions that they have done and also more broadly about the future available directions for Linux - ie. clustering and High Availability, NDS and Global File Systems. The entrance to Comlab is from Parks Road and maps can be found at: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/ox/maps.html The following monthly meeting will be on Sunday 4th July when Andrew Jackson will demonstrate VMware. -- For more information, contact events(a)oxlug.org.

UKUUG Linux '99 Conference
by Alasdair G Kergon 22 May '99

22 May '99

Details of the UKUUG's Linux '99 Conference are now online at: http://www.linux.ukuug.org/linux99/ Several members of OxLUG are putting a substantial amount of time into making this event a success, and so we'd like OxLUG to have a noticeable presence at the conference. It's also a good excuse to meet those of you on this list who aren't able to come to our regular meetings in Oxford for whatever reason! It is a two day event (the afternoon of Friday 25th June and all day Saturday 26th June). People who aren't already members of the UKUUG must purchase a half-year membership of the UKUUG. The website has a booking form. (The University of Oxford is a Corporate member of UKUUG - so students and staff should check with office(a)ukuug.org what price they need to pay.) We expect many of the leading figures in the UK Linux Community to be present, as well as Linux suppliers, developers and users alike. O'Reilly will be there so you can buy their books with 25% discount! Alasdair. -- agk(a)oxlug.org

Linux Performance - Sunday 11th April
by Alasdair Kergon 30 Mar '99

30 Mar '99

Linux Performance Chris Evans Oxfordshire Linux User Group Computing Laboratory Lecture Theatre Sunday 11th April, 6.30pm The high performance of the Linux kernel is increasingly taken for granted - it certainly gives other operating systems a run for their money! However, this is hard to justify without impartial facts and figures. Chris Evans will present some new figures and also examine the performance enhancements provided by the new Linux 2.2 kernel when compared with 2.0. He'll also take a peek into the future at what could be made yet faster! Then there'll be a chance for general Linux discussion before we adjourn to a nearby pub by 8.30pm. The entrance to Comlab is from Parks Road and maps can be found at: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/ox/maps.html For more information, contact events(a)oxlug.org.

KDE vs Gnome - Sunday 7th March
by Alasdair G Kergon 09 Mar '99

09 Mar '99

Sunday 7th March KDE vs Gnome Jesus College, Oxford 6.15pm for 6.30pm In the Red corner, the German contender. Now at release 1.1 and showing real signs of maturity, KDE could be a real contender in the linux desktop stakes. But in the Blue corner, all the way from Mexico stands the Gnome, ready to take on all comers in his (her?) 1.0 livery. Let the showdown commence! Jo Dillon and Phil Armstrong will be demonstrating both KDE and Gnome in all their finery - and hopefully extolling the good points of both! Then there'll be a chance to ask any other Linux questions you have and we'll progress to a nearby pub no later than 8.30pm. The entrance to Jesus College is in Turl Street. A map of Central Oxford can be found at http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/icons/oxmap01.gif (50k) or http://biop.ox.ac.uk/www/pub_guide/map2.jpg (330k) and there are links to other maps at http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/ox/maps.html .
