Press Release - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
____________________________________________________________

Connect OS/2 And Linux At Warp Expo West !!

You'll see OS/2 and Linux running seamlessly together, connected on
the same network and using each other's files when you join us at Warp
Expo West.

When you need to add to your network and don't want to dedicate an
entire OS/2 machine, Linux can come in handy. "It's a decent file and
printer server for OS/2 and other desktop systems," says Hugh Daschbach,
one of the two OS/2-Linux lecturers, "and it provides a rock solid
server platform for mail, news, or web service."

In this extensive seminar you'll be shown how to install Linux as a
second operating system on an OS/2 machine, how to access HPFS
partitions with Linux and the new HPFS functionality expected in Linux
2.4, running Samba to provide LAN Manager networking services for file
and printer sharing, accessing Linux files from the OS/2 client, using
Linux as the server, the Linux configuration screens for setting up your
networking capabilities, disk partitioning considerations when using
Linux and Linux with OS/2, dual booting with LILO, implementing the X
Window system, and the X Window software packages available.

Hugh Daschbach and Michael Elliott are both seasoned OS/2 users, and
both are also members of the Unix Users Association of Southern
California. Together they will showcase the methods involved in
combining these two very different operating systems into one robust
network.

Daschbach is a software engineer at Cisco Systems, and Elliott
develops on JavaOS at Sun Microsystems. Their combined knowledge will
enhance any network and will add functionality to your future networks.

You _will_ learn how to connect these two platforms when you attend
Warp Expo West!

Warp Expo West is free and will be held on September 18 near
Disneyland in sunny Southern California.
