I'll install Fedora in a VM with KDE for tonight. In full-screen
mode, you won't be able to tell the difference :P<br>

<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>

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>
