I would whole heartedly agree. I think all UNIX variants have their
place in the world. Having a group to discuss Solaris, Linux,
HP-UX, AIX, etc. would be cool. You can also get exposure to a
broader range of items. Anyone up for starting a ATLANTA-SAGE group? I
will help to pioneer it, and have tons of friends from DC-SAGE who
can shed light on this topic.
