Shawn,
thanks for the followup/heads up and for you efforts to make this
happen. I for one hope you can pull it off with the Redhat management
team's support.
A topic that I would be interested in would be a FUDfree deep-dive
comparison of the security architecture of linux, Windows server, and Unix.
Best Regards,
John Holmblad

In the last note I received from NOVALUG, I thought our first meeting would start at 9:00 AM. When you get a chance, please send me a quick note. Thanks.
