[PLUG] [plug-announce] CORRECTION!!!! Monday, May 21, 2012 - "Gentoo Everywhere: An Introduction To Prefix by Rich Freeman" (7pm at FIS in Malvern)


Apologies!!! (And thanks to the PLUG member who pointed this out!)
The previous announcement incorrectly stated that the next PLUG West
meeting would be on Monday, May 14...this is incorrect.  The next PLUG
West meeting will be on the third Monday of May, as normal: May 21.

Hope to see you then!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Philadelphia Area Linux Users Group (PLUG) cordially invites
you to a PLUG West meeting on Monday, May 21 at FIS in Malvern,
PA from 7-9 pm. See below for directions to the meeting location.

This month, PLUG West welcomes back Rich Freeman, who will
be giving a talk on Gentoo Prefix.

  Unix is even more ubiquitous than Linux, but the sad fact is that not
  all Unix systems are created equal.  If you'e ever found yourself
  staring at a command line and struggling to remember bsd syntax, or
  finding that you're forced to work on a box for which no gcc is
  available and autoconf is at v1.11, then perhaps Prefix is for you.
  Or, perhaps you run a more modern distro but need a development
  environment different from what is supplied, and a chroot jail isn't
  adequate for some reason.

  Gentoo Prefix is an innovative and flexible non-chroot solution to
  running a modern linux userspace on a system otherwise managed by some
  other operating system.   This overview/demo will help you to
  understand both its strengths and weaknesses, and equip you should you
  wish to give it a try yourself.
