<br><br>15th March 7pm UADSA Cinema (level 3)<br><br>Who are we?<br><br>We
are a society that promote the use of Linux as a a replacement for
Windows, and the promotion of open source software in general. We are
happy to help people that are new to Linux and Open Source Software,
Our Society is open to everyone, and even non-students are welcome to
join.<br><br>If you would like to know more about Linux you can find some great information on <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://linux.org/" target="_blank">Linux.org</a> and they can be found here
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.linux.org/info/" target="_blank">http://www.linux.org/info/</a><br><br>What do we do?<br><br>We
promote the use of Linux as a replacement to Windows, and hold regular
meetings and talks on Linux Operating Systems and their many variants.
We are a Society that aims to get people together to discuss Linux as
an Operating System.<br><br>What do i need to join The Linux Society?<br><br>The
only thing you need to bring is yourself and a inquisitive frame of
mind. Don't worry about having a copy of Linux before you come to the
first meeting, we're bound to have a copy you can have. If you want to
try Linux before you come to your first meeting then you can download
many different types of Linux from the internet and put it on a disc,
most Linux distro's (Distributions) are freely available, and most have
a LiveCD option.<br><br>A LiveCD generally refers to a Linux Distro
that can run straight from your CD-Drive on your computer without
having to install anything to your hard drive, so they are a great way
of trying something new without reconfiguring your computer.
(DistroWatch has a very good list of Linux Distro's the address is <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://distrowatch.com/" target="_blank">http://distrowatch.com/</a>)<br><br>So
whatever your experience with computing and Linux in general come
along, we're there to help you learn more about Linux and Open Source
Software.<br><br>So now you know what we're about why not come and meet
us, if you have any questions about the Linux society then please email
