Most people take for granted that when they flip the switch they will be greeted by the operating system of their choosing, but few take the time to understand how this happens. This talk will give a high-level overview of the PC boot process, particularly for Linux-based systems. Particular attention will be given to the historical evolution of the boot process, and how its modular design lends itself to great flexibility. Both newbies and seasoned veterans should find something to interest them. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 12, from 7-9pm (7-8 General Q&A, 8-9 Presentation) at CoreDial's new location: CoreDial (http://www.coredial.com/) 1787 Sentry Parkway West Suite 100 (Building 16) Blue Bell, PA 19422 Directions and other information are on our website: http://www.phillylinux.org/locations/coredial.html We request that you RSVP at rsvp@phillylinux.org if you intend on coming so we have some idea of how many to expect, but it is not required. _______________________________________________ plug-announce mailing list plug-announce@lists.phillylinux.org http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
