The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents

"Introduction to Linux"
  by Ryan Curtin

Sep. 1st, 2010, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456

Overview:

  So you've heard the word Linux a couple of times, and you think you
might know what it is.  Or, maybe you've put a LiveCD in your system,
or you might even run Linux as your main operating system.  This
presentation aims to quell the curiosity of those who feel that they
don't really know much about Linux, but would like to learn more.  The
presentation will cover what Linux is, why you should be using Linux, a
run-down of important Linux-related concepts to bring you from just
"user" to "power user", and software that allows you to do things you
never thought you could with Windows.

  While this presentation is aimed at beginners, it will cover useful
Linux applications and utilities, so it is likely that everyone can
learn something useful from this.

Also, after the presentation, we can help you troubleshoot any
Linux-related problems you might be having.

Upcoming presentations:

  2010.09.08:  BitTorrent
  2010.09.15:  Music Tagging

Hope to see you there!
