[ale] LUG in Columbus

[SLane at weather.com]

does anyone know if there is any significant business use of Linux in Columbus
(TSYS, AFLAC, etc.)?

I think it would be really cool to do some proof of concept stuff for TSYS on
replacing their 390 environment with something like a perl/mySQL/Mosix
architecture.  I know they'd never go for it but I bet it could be done and
would save them a pile (I know we have).

can one actually earn a living as a Linux professional down there?

not knocking Columbus (most of my family lives there; love Mike & Ed's ;-), just
curious...

Hello All -

A couple of us Linux users down here in Columbus Ga are trying to drum up
some interest in a local LUG, and would value your input and advice. We felt
that an Install-fest may be a way to generate up some interest initially. Any
advice?

btw - At the last ale-nw meeting, some expressed interest in dvd ripping on
Linux. Ken has the technique posted on his site:

Thanks -

John L
