The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, March 14.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   BrandZ - Running Linux in Solaris 10 Zones

   With the release of Solaris 10, two new important features were added to
   the operating system: zones and dtrace. With zones, multiple instances of
   the OS can be configured, enabling a virtualized deployment environment.

   In this presentation by Sun's Willem Van Schaik, we will look into the
   next phase, called BrandZ, which allows the installation of non-Solaris
   operating systems like Linux and BSD into a zone. Linux running in a
   Solaris Zone opens up new possiblities, like analyzing and debugging
   Linux programs with DTrace.  BrandZ  is  still under development, but
   try-out versions are available as part of OpenSolaris and Solaris Express.

The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June.  (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.

   **********************************************************************
   Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave.
   (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to
   sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you
   (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, 
   so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may
   not get in.  (But don't come too early either, since security may not
   be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.)

   Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot
   across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is
   also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $3.00 for the evening.

Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce"
and "roundtable".  If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you
to subscribe now:

        http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/

The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such
as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG
members.

The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics
discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other
topics that come up between meetings.  Of course, for this to be effective,
we need to reach a certain critical mass.  So, please subscribe, and stay
involved!
