Linux course for beginners (A'dam)
http://squat.net/barcelona
Wanna unleash the hidden powers of free software?
This course is meant for people who have no or very
little experience
with Linux, who've only used Window$ before (you poor
things!) or even
have never laid a hand on a computer before. Our focus
is to show you
how to install, use and do other cool shit with Linux
just by click,
click, clicking away - no need to give weird commands
to your computer
or other strange stuff like that. Simple as fuck!
As a basis for the course we have choosen Ubuntu Linux
training
published by the Ubuntu community. As the course
manual suggests we
will split the course into two days of workshops,
eight hours each.
Otherwise we'll go with the flow and be flexible.
The main subjects are:
29.03.2007 Day One
Course starts at 12:00h
- Introducing Ubuntu
- Exploring the Ubuntu Desktop
- Using the Internet
- Installing updates and new applications
- Using OpenOffice Applications
- Customizing the Desktop and Applications
05.04.2008 Day Two
Course starts at 12:00h
- File magement
- Making the Most of Images and Photos
- Playing Music and Videos
- Installing and running M$ Windows applications on
Linux
- Ubuntu: Help and Support
- Other issues requested by students
WHAT TO DO TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COURSE:
Simply send us an e-mail or drop by SLUG. When
emailing, please tell
us if you want to use your own computer or one of the
machines
prepared by us. The deadline is 22th of March, but
would be nice if
you signed up as early as possible. It will give us
more time to
prepare everything, estimate the number of computers
we need and so
on.
Everyone is welcome! (Except for pigs, politicians,
yuppies and other
such scum. Well, they use Window$ anyway
)
