These sessions, entitled "An Introduction to Linux" and "Implementation Issues in LINUX", are scheduled from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. They are being presented as a part of the week-long UNIX session stream, and will offer a unique opportunity to hear Linus speak, outside of Scandinavia. In addition to the two technical sessions, the UNIX SIG hopes to have a Linux system running in the UNIX/AI SIG Campground, and hopefully we can persuade Linus to "hang out there". For additional information, or to register, call 1-800-DECUS55. In addition, information is available via the Internet through DECUS' gopher client at gopher.decus.org, via anonymous FTP at ftp.decus.org, or sending mail to information@decus.org.
