BIZNIX MEETING

Tonight is the monthly BizNix meeting. It starts at 6:30
at Novell's office. Directions to the meeting are on the
BizNix web site.

Bayesian filtering has been a popular topic in recent
weeks and we're going to cover it at the meeting. In
case you haven't heard, it's a technique that suppresses
spam mail through statistical analysis. So far, it's
been portrayed as a "good thing" with nobody pointing
out the downside. The discussion at the meeting should
lead to a more balanced view.

We'll also take a quick look at UnitedLinux, a Linux
distribution for servers. We have a few copies of the
SCO Linux Server distribution on CD-ROM that's based
on UnitedLinux. You can bring your computer and install
it during the meeting.


INTEGRATING WINDOWS AND LINUX

PANUG and BizNix are hosting a 2-day course that shows
you how to get Windows and Linux to work together in
a network. The course is March 11-12 from 8:30 to 4:30.
A detailed course description and outline will be
available soon. The course costs $395 but PANUG and
BizNix members get a $25 discount. You can register
by phoning 503-635-6370.

Note that many of the concepts, techniques, and software
that's covered also applies to Mac OS X. While the course
will focus on Windows and Linux, much of it also applies
to OS X and Linux.
