An enthusiastic crowd gathered on Sunday at IIT-M , CS-32 to attend the secound part of the Intro to Intro to GNU/Linux series organized by FSFTN. Some participants were present last Sunday too. They were joined by a new batch of students from College of Engineering, Guindy. The session was handled by Mr. Alagunambi Welkin and Mr. Pratheesh Prakash The first part of the session was a hands-on approach to shell scripting. Mr. Welkin introduced us to the basic concepts and let us explore. We enjoyed modifying the comments and coming across a variety of errors. We experimented further, under Mr. Welkin's guidance and were comfortable with the basics of shell scripting. Materials used for this session can be downloaded from : http://www.fsftn.org/old/downloads Mr. Pratheesh Prakash gave an overview of how to install softwares by compiling from source. He mentioned the various reasons for using this method to install softwares such as unavailability of softwares in repository, to use the latest version and for fun. The hands-on for this activity is to be held next Sunday After this, there was a discussion of GLUG activities by students of Pratyusha Engineering College and College of Engineering, Guindy,. The participants came up with a plan of action which they intend to implement this week Next week, we will delve deeper into GNU/ Linux. The journey has been enjoyable till now and I look forward to the next session Anupama _______________________________________________ Mailinglist mailing list [email protected] http://fsftn.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_fsftn.org -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
