Group (<a href="http://www.bplug.org/">www.bplug.org</a>) is focused on the
use of Linux and Open Source in professional business environments. We have
organized presentations and seminars, and bring up topics that are of interest
to people that use or would like to use Linux as part of a corporate solution
set. We disseminate practical information and proven solutions from IT
professionals who have successfully tackled a wide range of enterprise Linux
deployment challenges. It’s a rare opportunity to benefit from the
experience and insight of peers from companies that are both local and
national. Our mailing list can be subscribed to by sending an email to <a
