You'll see OS/2 and Linux running seamlessly together, connected on the same network and using each other's files when you join us at Warp Expo West. When you need to add to your network and don't want to dedicate an entire OS/2 machine, Linux can come in handy. "It's a decent file and printer server for OS/2 and other desktop systems," says Hugh Daschbach, one of the two OS/2-Linux lecturers, "and it provides a rock solid server platform for mail, news, or web service." In this extensive seminar you'll be shown how to install Linux as a second operating system on an OS/2 machine, how to access HPFS partitions with Linux and the new HPFS functionality expected in Linux 2.4, running Samba to provide LAN Manager networking services for file and printer sharing, accessing Linux files from the OS/2 client, using Linux as the server, the Linux configuration screens for setting up your networking capabilities, disk partitioning considerations when using Linux and Linux with OS/2, dual booting with LILO, implementing the X Window system, and the X Window software packages available. Hugh Daschbach and Michael Elliott are both seasoned OS/2 users, and both are also members of the Unix Users Association of Southern California. Together they will showcase the methods involved in combining these two very different operating systems into one robust network. Daschbach is a software engineer at Cisco Systems, and Elliott develops on JavaOS at Sun Microsystems. Their combined knowledge will enhance any network and will add functionality to your future networks. You _will_ learn how to connect these two platforms when you attend Warp Expo West! - - - Warp Expo West is free and will be held on September 18 near Disneyland in sunny Southern California.
