The actual names, if you expand the acronyms, are:
PDXLUG - Portland Linux Users Group
PLUG - Portland Linux/UNIX Group, although we were "officially" the
Portland Linux Users Group until some time in the late 1990's, when
(IIRC) I requested we change the name to make it clear that discussion
about other UNIX systems was welcome.  Since "LUG" generally is used to
indicate Linux User Groups, most people assumed that PLUG stood for
Portland Linux Users Group, so we've also by default had that as an
alias.
