The USENIX ATC (or just "USENIX", which is the conference mentioned below) is an excellent conference, but very technical in nature and is more research-oriented. LISA is more about hands-on training and practical implementations that come out of research. You will meet very cool people at just about any USENIX conference. If you aren't a member of USENIX (http://www.usenix.org) or SAGE (http://www.sage.org) I highly suggest that you run (don't walk) to their websites and sign-up. --- Puryear Information Technology, LLC Baton Rouge, LA * 225-706-8414 http://www.puryear-it.com Download "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" http://www.puryear-it.com/bestpractices_ebook.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan McCain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 3:40 PM Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Fw: Attend the 2005 USENIX AnnualTechnical Conference this April > Not ever been able to attend usenix or linuxworld, which would you > recomend for a linux admin that has intermediate experience (me)? > > Thanks, > Ryan > > >>>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/28 10:27 am >>> > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 3:55 PM > Subject: Attend the 2005 USENIX Annual Technical Conference this April > > >>Dear Addison-Wesley Professional Subscriber: >> >>Learn the latest groundbreaking practices from the technical >>best at the 2005 USENIX Annual Technical Conference April >>10-15, 2005, in Anaheim, CA.
