                         BACK BAY LISA
         The New England Local System Administration Forum
                        JANUARY MEETING

                       Michael I. Bushnell
			 "The GNU Hurd"

Michael's talk will be about the GNU Hurd, the operating system
being written by the Free Software Foundation.  The GNU Hurd attempts
to restrict the functionality of the non-replaceable kernel to as
small a minimum as possible.  Virtually all of the functionality users
interact with is provided by the system libraries instead, allowing
both faster execution and easier replacement by individual users to
suit their individual needs.

For anyone interested in taking a more active role in the running of
the BBLISA, there will be a short meeting, starting at 6:30, before
the regular meeting begins.

        Date: Wednesday, January 27, 1993
        Time: 19:00   (18:30 for the admin. meeting)
