Hi Virigina (and everyone else).  Thanks for the confirmation!

Would it be possible to get a more thorough description of what Mr. Becker
will be speaking about?  Right now, we don't have an exact topic listed,
and simply have the following for the description:

  Penguin Computing [link] is a leading provider of high-performance
  Linux-based computer systems, system management software, and
  integration services.  Penguin's extensive customer base includes
  Fortune 1000 companies, educational institutions, and government
  agencies.

And a small bio under "About the Speaker":

  Donald Becker is Penguin Computing's Chief Technology Officer, and
  was co-founder of the original Beowulf project, which is the
  cornerstone for commodity-based high-performance cluster
  computing. Don's work in parallel and distributed computing began in
  1983 at MIT's Real Time Systems group. He is known throughout the
  international community of operating system developers for his
  contributions to networking software and as the driving force behind
  beowulf.org.


I'm fairly sure that's all we need, but I'm Cc'ing the SVLUG Speaker Coord'n
list and webmaster, just in case.

Thanks again, and happy new year to you, too!
