  This month, PLUG Central welcomes Rich Freeman, who will be giving a
  talk on the Linux boot process.

  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 Wednesday, July 6, from 7-9pm at

          University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP)
          Griffith Hall C
          600 South 43rd Street
          Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495

  USP is located in University City.  Driving directions are
  available at <http://www.phillylinux.org/locations/usp.html>, or
  <http://www.usip.edu/directions/>, both of which have an aerial
  view of the campus buildings.  USP is also easily accessible by
  public transportation.

  There will be an open Question & Answer session at 7PM, prior to
  the main presentation at 8PM.  This is an open meeting; all are
  welcome and encouraged to attend.

  Usually, a number of members get together after the meeting at a
  nearby restaurant for food and perhaps a beer or two.  Come join
  the camaraderie!
