Maybe a Seattle Free Unix Group is the best idea in this light. Mostly I
wanted to focus on FreeBSD because there are already a couple of Linux
groups and one generic UNIX group (that I know of) in the area; seemed
to me this was what we (Seattle) lacked.
So what are some of the other opinions on this matter? Do you guys think
it is a better idea for Users Groups to be more broad, e.g. covering
*BSD and linux as well or ?? I am open to suggestions and (of course) am
in no way the person who must decide this matter.
Are any of the ppl on this list part of a sucessful users group? Maybe
it would help to define how to start a sucessful users group.
