that impacts today on the Linux world.

Our Guests will Include:
Peter Salus

UNIX,"  one of the "Must Read" selections for any Unix devotee. Peter
is considered by many as the historian of the early Unix community.

Steve Crocker
Steve is one of the original 4 who gathered together during the summer
of 1968 to come up with the concept of the ARPA Net. Steve also wrote
the original "Request For Comments" (RFC-1) that laid out the
specifications for Unix messaging and the ARPA Network.

John Quarterman
John is an author of numerous Unix books including "Practical
Internetworking with TCP/IP and UNIX" a recognized bible for Internet
network admins. John is also editor of "Matrix News."

Vint Cerf
Widely known as a "Father of the Internet," Cerf is the co-designer of
the TCP/IP protocol, that aided the birth to the Internet and which is
commonly used today. In December 1997, President Clinton presented the
U.S. National Medal of Technology to Cerf and his partner, Robert E.
Kahn, for their work in founding and developing the Internet. The
reality is that it is hard to know when to stop when talking about
Vint.  He is measured only by leaders such as Marc Andreessen and the
late Jon Postel.
