The Buffalo Professional Linux Users Group 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.
