The Informix on Linux FAQ, v. 0.3 has been released. The Informix on Linux FAQ attempts to address the most commonly-encountered obstacles to installing and running the native port of Informix-SE 7.24.UC5 for Linux.

For Italian-capable readers: ROL (Reggio OnLine) magazine has started running a column on Linux. The first column is devoted to introductory issues and some installation instructions.

Another Linux news site, LinuxToday, has been announced. It promises constant updates throughout the day and the ability to share comments and opinions.

A mailing list for Oracle on Linux has been made available.

Events

Remember that next week is the LiMe (Linux Meeting) in Rome, Italy. The meeting is the 7th through the 9th of October; more information can be found in their web pages.

Also remember the Atlanta Linux Showcase, coming up October 23 and 24. Their list of exhibitorshas grown to 48 entries. The main showcase web site has all the information about this event.

See the LWN event calendar for a complete listing of upcoming Linux-related happenings.

Web sites

The Linux Sound Apps page has been shut down recently due to insufficient bandwidth. Good news, though, a new site and a mirror are now available.

The UK Linux links page, which provides links of interest to British Linux users, has moved to http://www.skygate.co.uk/linux.html.

User Group News

The Metro Detroit Linux User's Group (MDLUG)recently gave a presentation and demonstration of Linux. They have made their slideshow available in the hopes that it may be of use to others who wish to do a presentation on Linux.

The Utrecht University Linux User Group recently formed and held its first meeting on September 22nd. They have a nice home page, two mailing lists and are planning to hold public seminars to educate people about Linux in the future.

A new user group is forming in Vicenza, Italy. See their announcement (in Italian) for more information. They claim world domination as their goal, and even set a date (2003). Meanwhile they'll settle for pizza.
