Just a reminder:

Next Meeting Date: June 8, 1999

Alex deVries will talk about developing Linux for non-i386 architectures,
using Linux for SGI Indy and Hewlett Packard PA RISC as examples.
The discussion will follow the development starting with a compiler
toolchain and working up to a fully functional distribution.

The talk will be reasonably technical, but should be interesting to users
who are interested in knowing more about different types of computers
and how Linux development is done.

Alex is Vice-president of Engineering for The Puffin Group Inc., a Linux
consulting company in Ottawa, and works on contract to Red Hat Software.
He developed the first userland for SGI/Linux and started the port of
Linux to PA RISC.
