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.
