 9:00 a.m. Linux for S/390
           Romney White, IBM VM
 
           Abstract
 
           Running Linux on S/390 hardware doesn't require VM,
           but it certainly can make the task easier to
           accomplish and a more productive endeavor.  This
           session describes the value that VM brings to the
           Linux user and explains how it can enhance the
           Linux experience on S/390.

10:25 a.m. Using Text Utility Commands in Shell Scripts
           Scott Courtney, internet.com
 
           Abstract
 
           Intended for those who are new to the Linux and
           UNIX command shell, this session will teach the
           basics of common text utilities such as 'cut',
           'tr', 'sed', 'grep' and 'awk'.  Examples of how
           to use these commands in simple shell scripts
           will be discussed, with emphasis on combining
           them in multistage command pipes.
 
           Prereq:  Elementary knowledge of 'bash' or 'sh'
                    environment, including how to navigate
                    the directory tree.

12:25 p.m. CA VM Update
           Shelly Harper, Computer Associates
 
           Abstract
 
           With the addition of the VM products and services
           from the former Sterling Software, CA is clearly
           the VM market leader and also committed to main-
           taining and enhancing our VM product line.  Join
           us for more information about the acquisition of
           Sterling Software and how CA plans to move these
           products forward.

           - Server landscape (platforms, platforms)
           -  Architecture
           - How does S390 (Vm/VSE/OS390) fit?
           - What does the market look like?
           - Limitations (upper and lower), plans, and
             alternatives
           - Migration (if any), pricing (perhaps), and
             what about Linux?

 2:30 p.m. Filesystems in Linux: Using Mount Points
           Scott Courtney, internet.com
 
           Abstract
 
           To those who are used to seeing disk volumes
           assigned a letter designator, as in VM or DOS, the
           tree-oriented file hierarchy in Linux can be
           confusing.  This session explains how mount
           points work, how to use the 'mount' and 'umount'
           commands to control them and how to build or
           modify the /etc/fstab file to mount filesystems
           in the correct order at boot time.
 
           prereq:  Familiarity with filename and directory
                    syntax in Linux or UNIX.
 
 
 3:15 p.m. VM Update
           Romney White, IBM VM
 
           Abstract
 
           This session will bring you up to date by exploring
           the recent advances in VM and giving you a glimpse
           of its future.  To get the most out of VM, you
           ought to take advantage of its full range of support
           for Guests, e-business, server consolidation, and
           more.  But before you can start to use these
           facilities, you need to know what is available.
           This session will give you the latest information
           about your favorite operating system.
