Bombay Linux Users Group <www.ilug-bom.org.in>
- press release.
Linux is the new buzzword. Everybody wants a piece of it and
all want to jump on the bandwagon. But how do you as an
enthusiast shift through the hype ?
Simple... Join us .
We are a group of people who have worked with linux in one way
or another, end-users to gurus, we are all part of the Linux
community of Bombay. We have witnessed first hand the beauty,
elegance and sheer power of Linux. To us, Linux is not just
another Operating System, it is the Operating System - and that
is not because it comes free.
Our mission is to spread the usage of Linux in Bombay.
Why is Linux good for you.Linux is all about opportunity.
Opportunity to experience how powerful an Operating System can
be. From a User friendly Interface to Absolute computing power ,
from a high-end server to a basic desktop system, from a full
fledged multi-processor operating system to a single processor
based system - Linux can answer your questions.
The best way to learn more about Linux is to work with it. If
you need help... there are many user groups and mailing lists to
help you out. We also have our own mailing list which you can
join and interact with other linux users.
Few of the more prominent links to help you out:
www.linux.org { the most obvious site }
www.kernel.org { for all ye engineering students wishing to get
to the heart of the Linux OS }
www.ilug-bom.org.in { our very own website - under development
- if this is not functional please head on to www.ilug-bom.org
for now}
We are The Linux Users Group of Bombay. Though we prefer to call
it a community.
