----- Forwarded message from Brian Lavender <[email protected]> ----- The Linux Users' Group of Davis will be holding a free "Linux Installfest" workshop in Davis, California:
When: Saturday, January 26 10:00am - 5:00pm Where: Plant and Environmental Science Building Room 2005 UC Davis Davis, California http://campusmap.ucdavis.edu/?b=117 Enter at Middle Door close to the Tennis Court. Parking: On the weekend you can park anywhere on campus for free, so you can park right here by the building. (Unless its roped off for a special event, unlikely). What: Linux is a completely free, 'open source' operating system that can run on a wide variety of computer hardware. It can act as a web-, file-, print- or game-server, run in a 'cluster' of computers to do 3D rendering or other intense math, or sit under your TV and record your favorite shows for later viewing. Many people use it as an inexpensive, stable, virus- and spyware-free alternative to commercial software, such as Microsoft Windows. Members of the community are invited to bring their computers and laptops to this informal workshop, and volunteers from LUGOD will help you install and configure Linux... for FREE! How: If you wish to bring in your PC, you must RSVP beforehand to reserve a space. The RSVP form, and lots of useful information about Linux and Installfests, and how to prepare for the event, are accessible on the web at: http://www.lugod.org/if/ Help! We're always looking for volunteers for our workshops. If you'd like to help, or come watch and learn as others are helped, please feel free to drop by. Our "vox-if" mailing list is where we discuss plans and needs for these events, so we encourage you to sign up: http://www.lugod.org/mailinglists/#vox-if ...or contact the Installfest coordinators directly via email: [email protected] About LUGOD: The Linux Users' Group of Davis is a 501(c)7 non-profit organization dedicated to the Linux operating; system and Open Source software, and which (along with holding Installfests) holds regular meetings with guest speakers each month in Davis, CA.
