The Buffalo Professional Linux Users Group (www.bplug.org
<http://www.bplug.org/> ) is focused on the use of Linux and Open Source in
professional business environments. We have organized presentations and
seminars, and bring up topics that are of interest to people that use or
would like to use Linux as part of a corporate solution set. We disseminate
practical information and proven solutions from IT professionals who have
successfully tackled a wide range of enterprise Linux deployment challenges.
It's a rare opportunity to benefit from the experience and insight of peers
from companies that are both local and national. Our mailing list can be
subscribed to by sending an email to bplug-subscribe at bplug.org.
