The Linux Users' Group of Davis will be holding a free "Linux Installfest"
workshop in Davis, California:
When:
Saturday, January 26
10:00am - 5:00pm
Where:
Plant and Environmental Science Building
Room 2005
UC Davis
Davis, California
http://campusmap.ucdavis.edu/?b=117
Enter at Middle Door close to the Tennis Court.
Parking:
On the weekend you can park anywhere on campus for free, so you can
park right here by the building. (Unless its roped off for a special
event, unlikely).
What:
Linux is a completely free, 'open source' operating system that can run
on a wide variety of computer hardware. It can act as a web-, file-,
print- or game-server, run in a 'cluster' of computers to do 3D rendering
or other intense math, or sit under your TV and record your favorite shows
for later viewing. Many people use it as an inexpensive, stable,
virus- and spyware-free alternative to commercial software, such as
Microsoft Windows.
Members of the community are invited to bring their computers and laptops
to this informal workshop, and volunteers from LUGOD will help you install
and configure Linux... for FREE!
How:
If you wish to bring in your PC, you must RSVP beforehand to reserve a
space. The RSVP form, and lots of useful information about Linux and
Installfests, and how to prepare for the event, are accessible on the
web at:

"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
