If we can get a room, even the Linux Cluster open, I would like to
hold an interactive discussion tonight (Monday 10/9/00 at 7pm).
Titled: "Step 2: What to do after Linux is installed"
I have some ideas that I will give the audience. What I would like to
do in brainstorm what the new user needs to know. Once we have a good
concensus of what they should know we'll try to determine a order that
makes sense. Once the information is collected we'll distribute it to
the group and work at getting something written up that could be given
out at installfests or to new users in general. We will not be
attempting to re-invent the wheel, just to solve the problem of
getting new users started, other initiatives that serve the same goal
should be considered.
We'll really need input from Linux users of all levels. New users
have these questions the freshest memory of what is need. Wizards
have the bigger picture of where the user can ultimately go and at
what minimum knowledge level they can stop and still perform all the
required tasks.
