An Introduction to Linux and F/OSS Message-ID: When: Monday, 05/21 7pm-9pm Where: Explorit Nature Center 3141 5th Street Davis, CA 95616 LUGOD members and friends, Join LUGOD this month for an introduction to the world of Linux and Free/Open-Source software by Kevin Weedon! This month's introductory talk is about the philosophy of the GNU/Linux operating system, and why more people are choosing it every day. Kevin will be touching on the ease of use, flexibility, security, and the control over the operating system that Linux provides, as well as what variants of Linux are available and how to choose the right one for your needs. There will be a question and answer session afterwards to help get you the answers you need to get started. This is a great opportunity to bring your friends and family who have an interest in Linux, but may not know why they should choose Free/Open-Source software, or how to get started. Hope to see you there! http://www.lugod.org/meeting/
