BIZNIX MEETING TONIGHT

Tonight is the monthly BizNix meeting. The meeting starts
at 6:15 with pizza and refreshments. It's held at Novell's
office in Tigard. Directions are on the BizNix web site at
http://www.biznix.org. Click the Meetings link.

We'll have a Question & Answer session where any topics
relating to Linux or Unix may be discussed. This session
is newbie-friendly - nobody is going to give you a hard
time for asking questions that are basic, using a particular
Linux distribution, or saying that you like emacs. If you
say that you like Windows, you're on your own.

The main presentation will be about Linux disk performance
and benchmarks for testing performance. This will cover
issues such as eliminating the effects of the memory
cache on benchmark results.

If you've never been to a BizNix meeting before, you can
attend once without having to become a member or pay
a fee.


DUES ARE DUE

Membership in both PANUG and BizNix is calendar year.
Here's a quick review of the details:

For the vast majority of you, your dues are now due.
Dues are $35 for the year for either user group.

If you wish to joing both groups, the cost is only
$50 - a $20 savings.

If you're a full-time student or unemployed, you can
join either group for $15. If you become employed
during the year, you must pay the balance of the
normal membership fee at that time. If you want
to join both groups, the fee is $30.

When you join, you'll receive our attractive PANUG/BizNix
coffee cup. (Hey, we're proud of it.)

You can join at the meeting if you pay by cash or
check. If you want to pay by credit card, call ALC
at 503-635-6370.
