Hi,<br>
<br>
I will attend this. I know I own a Mac, but I am installing and
using a Linux VM all day, everyday for use in work. If this is
something that you would be interested in as well, I will attend.
This could potentially be a decent demo of Linux in a commercial
environment, being used to administrate a network and its services
and users from a client point of view, as opposed to the usual
server view people have of Linux.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Mike.<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Linux event we're doing for the BCS is happening
next week at Chester Uni. As I've mentioned before, I'd
really like to have people bring along their laptops
running Linux to demo the different desktop environments
or any useful apps you use. If you can come to the event
and can bring a laptop please let me know so I can judge
numbers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm hoping it will be a good event as we have a good
speaker!</div>

<br>
Linux, a Unix derivative, is well known as a server
operating system. It is the<br>
most popular choice for Internet servers across the world,
critical server<br>
systems and is run on over 90% of the top 500 fastest
super computers in the<br>
world. At the other end, Linux can be found embedded in
many of the day to day<br>
appliances we use, including eBook readers, mobile phones,
TVs and even cars.<br>
<br>
In between these two great success stories, Linux has been
evolving as a real<br>
competitor in the world of desktop computing. Microsoft
Windows is a clear<br>
market leader, but there is a growing demand for usable,
more secure operating<br>
systems.<br>
<br>
This talk will look at how Linux has evolved as a desktop
operating system and<br>
will give several demonstrations of the look and feel
provided by the latest<br>
distributions. It will show how you can use a fast, secure
and completely<br>
customisable operating system for free!<br>
<br>
