372: glimpse at the USENIX Technical Conference</a>, SunWorld, June 1999
373: </strong></font><br>
374:
375: In a review of this year's event subtitled "USENIX
376: and Unix -- then and now", writer Vicki Brown contrasts the first
377: conference in 1979 to the recent one in Montery, California. Although it
378: only mentions OpenBSD in the links section below the article, it's still
379: an interesting read.
