<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wanted to remind you that this event is happening tomorrow evening at Chester Uni. It's in the same building we've met in before, plenty of parking available.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It looks like we have Ubuntu and Slackware systems available for demo, if anyone has a Fedora box or any system running KDE that would be really good. I know Dan has a collection of demos for the talk but the more the better!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>See you tomorrow.</div>

<br><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>Speaker Profile<br>
