Linux course for beginners (A'dam)
Barcelona - 18.03.2008 17:43
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
If you want to install Linux on your own machine before the course starts you can do it on Saturdays during our Squatters Linux User Group (from 15:00 on @ Van Boetzelaerstraat 1). There you can find people who live to help you with your technical problems. While installing you can use our monitors, keyboards, etcetera, so no need to bring your own! Or you can join the installation party:
22.03.2008
SLUG Special: INSTALLFEST.
Starts at 14:00h
Massive installation party with all the help you could ever need available right there. Afterwards, around 18:00 - 19:00 (depending on how the installation goes) screening of “REVOLUTION OS” -documentary by JTS Moore, as an overwiev on history of Linux, the free software foundation and opensource movement.
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…)
If something is still unclear, you would like to help, give a workshop etc. drop as a line at  barcelona@squat.net

Hey people.
Because of bad weather many of you couldn't bring your pcs to our install fest. That's why we decided still make it possible to install ubuntu before the actual workshop starts. But we want to avoid the situation where we gonna be busy installing on the day of the workshop. Thats why you still can bring your computer on Wednesday from 16:00 (at 20:00 we have voku and a bar until 0:00), and Thursday from 17:00 until 20:00.
