ACORN Linux SIG Homage
The ACORN Linux SIG is a special
interest group dedicated to the Linux operating system.
I've just started
working on this page, after taking over from Jim Foltz who started it,
about three years ago. Thanks to Jim, as well as Ann Hutchison at ACORN
for
the opportunity to help out.
If you have any questions, comments,
or links, that you think should be added, or would like to help out,
please contact me at the e-mail address at the bottom of this page.
I am using Linux Slackware 10.2
on an IBM
clone and duel booting both linux and windows 98 SE with Grub.
I would be glad to try and answer any questions you might have.
There is no reason this can't be a world class site with a little
bit of
help from everyone.
