Introduction to Linux class this Tuesday

TheCosmicFrog

Want to try Linux? Back by popular demand, 091 Labs' Introduction to Linux class will be covering the installation and setup of Ubuntu 10.10, including configuring it to work seamlessly with your Windows files. We'll even show you how to setup all the cool goodies!

The class will cost just €5, which will go towards rent and equipment for 091 Labs. The class will be about 2 hours long and printed notes will be provided afterwards. No prior knowledge of Linux is necessary as this is starting from the very basics!

What to bring:

• A laptop

By installing Linux you can KEEP Windows installed, you'll just have the option of booting either Windows or Ubuntu when you switch your computer on. As a precaution, please backup all your important files anyway.

If you do not have a laptop, we will be able to offer a limited amount of old laptops which you can install Ubuntu on, just to get a feel for the installation. Please request these in advance. We have a Tuck Shop in 091 Labs selling drinks and snacks for low prices, which also goes towards our rent

By the way, just in case it's not clear, no, we're not giving away laptops. We just have a couple of communal machines here we can use so that people can experience this sort of thing
