Most people are familiar with one of two operating systems: Windows or OS X.(Leopard). There’s another option, though – Linux. Linux used to be fairly difficult to work with, but in recent years, has become very “windows-like.” It’s free and there’s now plenty of free software available for it. (Open Office, for example, is every bit as functional and easy to use as Microsoft Office – and it’s free.) This workshop will introduce you to Linux and some of the basic concepts involved in working with it. We’ll install Linux and some of the most common software on an old computer and give you a test drive.
