The UIUC Linux Users' Group is a forum for Linux users at UIUC to get together, help each other, and collaborate on projects. At each meeting, we announce recent happenings in the Linux community, work on current projects, and have an open forum for people to ask each other questions and discuss other matters of interest to the Linux community here at UIUC. Linux is a free implementation of the UNIX operating system, currently running on 386/486/Pentium or compatible PCs.

Our major project right now is the UIUC Linux Distribution. We are in the process of compiling all the sources and putting together a new distribution of the complete Linux system. The distribution will be aimed at more experienced users, and is not meant to replace Slackware or other distributions with different goals. If you're interested in this project, feel free to get involved!

The LUG meets at 1900 on Tuesdays in room 1102 DCL. If you have any questions, feel free to mail lug@uiuc.edu.
