The lecture will take place at 10:00am, at the Compaq Office, 9 Dafna St. Ranana. We'd like to know how many people will arrive in advance, so if you plan to come - please RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Abstract Linux has already achieved a high degree of functionality as a server OS. Everybody knows that. Still, many people find it hard to implement Linux in the industrial and commercial environments. On one hand, industry MIS managers still prefer the relative safety of working with an established proprietary vendor, even at higher total cost. On the other hand, the Unix paradigm is increasingly endangered by a new generation of network and server administrators feeling more comfortable with Microsoft's click-and-drag-and-drop way of working. Moshe Bar (www.moelabs.com), has been contributing to the Linux kernel, and various of its subsystems for years. Through his monthly Linux server columns at Byte Magazine, Linux Journal, Linux Magazine and UnixWorld, he is in constant contact with big industries and service companies throughout Europe and the US and has experienced many a situation where Linux actually proved to be the better and cheaper solution. Moshe Bar has just published three books on the subjects of Linux Kernel Internals, Linux Clusters and Linux File Systems together with McGraw-Hill. He is also a co-developer for IBM's JFS for Linux and of the Kha0s ultra-secure Linux version. On August 4th, at 10.00am, at the Compaq Office, 9 Dafna St. Ranana, Moshe Bar will be speaking about "Linux in the Industrial and Commercial Environements". Moshe will cover the areas of Linux as an Application Server Linux as a File Server Linux as an Internet/Intranet Server A question and answer session will follow, after which Moshe will quickly address the issue of OpenSource community involvement withing the Israeli High-Tech industry. -- Chen Shapira -- Chen Shapira ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
