| Abstract
|
Unlike introductory Unix courses which start from a working system, this
two-hour course/seminar starts off with installing Linux from scratch. The presentation
will open with brief history, key features, Linux's advantages and details
about Linux's popularity today, and will continue with a step-by-step
demonstration of an installation and post-configuration. After the setup,
the course will move onto discussing basic Linux features, setting up the
workstation, using software applications (including world wide web and
mail), and basic system administration.
Seminar and Linux Manual are free - CD's available at $3
