Good morning, my fellow PLUGgers! =) Could you please give me some suggestions, corrections, recommendations, URLs, etc. about my topic for the SPCQC event entitled "Introduction to Linux Desktop Applications"? This is my first time to give a talk about Linux Desktop Applications and I need your help for the betterness of my presentation. Below is the draft of my presentation for the upcoming SPCQC event. BTW, can you give me a HOW-TO on how to install and run Quake III Arena in my Linux box? I want to include it in my presentation eh. =) Thank you very much. - - - < S N I P > - - - "Introduction to Linux Desktop Applications" PREREQUISITES: o Knows how to use the mouse o Familiarity with M$ Windows o But the most important is you are a valid user of the system Definitions: X - Window <http://www.x.org/> o An advanced, network transparent, windowing, graphical environment, develop at the MIT and first released in 1984.
