There will be a meeting of the CCCC Linux SIG and the BRLUG Newbies group on 5/20/02, Monday, at 6pm at the CCCC office in Room 1. The CCCC office is located in Dean Tower at 5700 Florida Blvd., Suite 424. See http://www.clickers.org for more info.
We will be discussing the GUI (Graphics User Interface) of Linux, XFree86, which is a free implementation of the original UNIX GUI, X Window (which, by the way, was being used prior to M$ ripping off the name). We will discuss how to configure XFree86 for your graphics card, monitor, mouse and keyboard. We will also discuss stupid user tricks such as running applications on a remote computer but seeing the display on a local computer. We will also break down the complex taxonomy of window managers and desktop environments, and explain why lots of choices is a good thing.
