------------------------------------------------
Subject: Unigroup Meeting - Greater NYC Area's UNIX Users Group
When: Tuesday, June 28, 1994 <===== Special Day & Time
Where: PC EXPO NEW YORK 1994
Jacob Javits Convention Center
Room 1E17

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Main Presentation:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Topic: Personal Unix - Unix on Intel (Linux, SCO, ESIX, Consensys, etc.)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Unigroup will hold a panel discussion on Personal Unix which
usually means using Unix on Intel based hardware. Both
freely-available versions of Unix (like Linux) and purchased
products (like SCO) will be discussed. We hope to answer
everyone's common questions such as "Where do I get it",
"What will it cost", "What hardware do I need", "What can
I do with it", "What tools are available", etc.
With the recent releases of Linux, setting up your own
Unix system can finally be achieved at very little cost!
There's nothing like having your own personal 25 MIP Unix box,
and I'm talking about your basic 486-DX2/66!
Panel: Robert Weiner/Programming Plus, J.P. Radley, Dan Wexler,
Liz Stokes, Ronda Hauben, others.
Fees: The PC EXPO and UNIX EXPO meetings are FREE and open
to the public!
Yearly Membership: $ 50.00
