The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, June 10.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   Linux Clusters

   The ability to cluster servers is one of the biggest steps toward
   acceptance of Linux in mission-critical applications. There are
   multiple clustering products available, and Red Hat now bundles two
   different types with their Enterprise server product. Clustering can
   increase both the reliability and the scalability of many different
   types of applications.
     
   Adam Thompson will be our presenter for this month. Three types of
   clustering will be discussed (Failover, LVS & Beowulf) and some
   typical examples of each will be presented.

The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM 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 new 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 7:15
   PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or
   you may not get in.

   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 $2.00 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!
