Re: [PLUG] South Jersey Linux User's Group alive and well.

["Nicholas Vettese" <pluglist@hotmail.com>]

The other group is the one I created.  We meet at the Camden County Library 
in Voorhees, NJ.  Our platform is generic Linux/GNU, and we are focusing on 
certification.  I was the original creator of SLUG 2 years ago, and was part 
of Jerry's group, but I had other plans and decided to go that route.  I do 
not feel that we are in anyway competing with one another, because I 
purposely planned the meetings so they wouldn't interfere.  Our group is 
newer, and we are about 15 strong as well, with two more added this week.  
There is also another group in SJ that I heard about, but never saw.  I am 
not sure what they are about, but I believe they meet in Marlton.  Our next 
meeting is on the 28th of March from 7-9, and the topic will be about the 
Linux File System.  Our Cert Track is based upon the LPIC course.
