PC UNIX SIG					Wednesday, June 3, 7pm


		Berkeley Software Design and BSD/386
		------------------------------------


The BSD/386 system is the first product from Berkeley Software Design,
Inc (BSDI).  This system is derived from the Berkeley Second Networking
Release and its support for Intel 386/486 AT-bus systems.  BSDI is a
small startup that has implemented the missing components to turn the
NET/2 release into a bootable BSD system.  Numerous drivers,
improvements and fixes have been made in order to make this a
supportable product.  BSDI is an unusual company, in that its staff is
scattered around the country.

The speaker is Michael Karels, the System Architect at BSDI.
Until February, 1992, he was the Principal Programmer at Berkeley's
Computer Systems Research group, where he was the system architect
for 4.3BSD and following releases.  He is a co-author of the book
``The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System.''

The PC UNIX SIG is a group that meets monthly to learn about UNIX and
discuss the popular UNIX versions for the IBM PC family.  The format is
technical discussions or product presentations.  We also have a club
computer with Usenet access.

The meetings are free and open to the public, but members are encouraged
to join the parent group, Silicon Valley Computer Society, an IBM PC
users group.  For more information on SVCS call 408-286-1271.
