'''The Portland Linux/Unix Group''', also called the '''Portland Linux Users Group''', (PLUG) is a group of [[Linux]] enthusiasts in [[Portland, Oregon]]. The group was started in early 1994 as a venue to discuss and promote Linux, and is one of the oldest [[Linux User Group]]s in existence. Its existence has contributed, in part, to the ___location of the [[Open Source Development Labs]] in the Portland suburb of [[Beaverton, Oregon|Beaverton]], as well as the [[O'Reilly Open Source Conference]] in Portland three years in a row.

Note that this is '''not''' the same group as [http://www.pdxlug.org/ PDXLUG], which describes itself as "a Portland Linux User Group". PDXLUG is a separate group, which was founded in response to the chaotic discussions common on the PLUG mailing list.

PLUG's activities include the following:
