[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] New Sponsor

[Wil Cooley]

Today we have signed an agreement for hardware, software and support
from a new vendor, The SCO Group, Inc. to aid in the development and
growth of the Portland Linux/UNIX Group.  Having recently developed a
bit of bad publicity regarding lawsuits against large Linux vendors,
such as IBM and large Linux users, such as AutoZone, Inc., the SCO Group
is attempting to reach out to Linux users (and potential SCO IP
licensees) by supporting Linux User Groups all over the US.

Arriving early next week will be several new servers, pre-loaded with
SCO UnixWare and many of the various open source applications supported
by the SCO Group, such as Mailman, Apache, Sendmail, Samba, OpenLDAP and
MySQL.  Included will be a few proprietary applications they have asked
us to run, such as 'luser-report', 'IPmon' and 'Big Brother'.

We hope you will be patient with us as we make the transition to these
new platforms; there may be some rocky moments in our service.  We are
very excited about this new opportunity to develop a relationship with
so respected a vendor as the SCO Group; they are likewise excited in the
prospects of improving their name in the community and increasing their
revenues.


























Happy April 1st!

Wil
