You can buy a CD that contains a copy at the Borders bookstore on Route 9 in Shrewsbury, or various other places. I think the WPI bookstore has them. I got three or four copies for the price of a beer from somebody I met at the WLUG meeting. You can download a copy from various Internet sites. To order with your chargecard, you can use our *SECURED* web page at: http://www.cheapbytes.com (that was an unpaid commercial advertisement) I would be happy to sell you one of my old CDs for $200 (price not firm). > What is difference between RedHat and Linux? Linux is the name of the Kernel of an Operating System. This operating system was written by a loose coalition of programers around the world, and is released under the terms of the GPL and various other Open Source Licenses. RedHat is the name of a company that tries to make money selling copies, documentation, and support for free software. Here is an excerpt from the GPL, which is the End User License Agreement for GNU/Linux. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Future WLUG meeting dates posted

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, I've just posted the meeting dates for the first half of 2003 on the WLUG website. I've also extended an invitation to Jon 'Maddog' Hall to come to speak at a future WLUG meeting, and he has accepted our invitation. He'll visit during our February 20, 2003 meeting. Maddog travels alot and there was no way I could get him to come sooner (we tried). Remember that the Install Fest is only 2 weeks away! I haven't received any e-mails from prospective installees, but that doesn't surprise me since we still have 2 weeks until the event. Nonetheless, please start telling people about this event - advertise it on the WPI campus and tell all your friends! Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
