The real key to this topic is for someone to do a talk on "Linux and Mac
OSX Interoperability" Before someone suggests that "those that suggest it
should do it.." well, maybe if someone buys me a box that I can run OS X
on, I might. :P But, until then...
I'm all for other lunixes -- esp. bsd -- however I think a key with any
meeting group is to stay focused -- lets face it... theres certainly
enough, if not too much to learn about our primary topic.
So, if you want to do a talk on something thats a little outside our
realm, think about how to make it relate to Linux.
I've certainly asked for (and received) help on other unixes before from
the group, so I am not for lynchings when slightly related but different
topics come up... but if we were to vote yes to doing other unixes... we
would no longer be PLUG -- we would just be a PUG -- and who wants to be a
dog?
