Folks,

Wed 18th January 2006 - Talk and Demo
=====================================

Into Using Linux: The GUI and The Command Line
==============================================

This talk and hands-on demo is intended for all those new to Linux and 
for "older noobies" alike and follows on from recent mailing list 
discussions and examples.

Ever wondered what to do with the graphical desktop, or what is 'behind' 
or 'underneath' it? And what of those strange 'terminal' things with 
cryptic incantations in text? Well, this evening is NOT to explain all 
about the intricate detailed working of such obscure arcanery. Instead, 
how to make use of them and the other features available will be 
introduced so that you can navigate through the Linux system and 
filesystems with ease.

Audience heckling for favoured 'hints and tips' and any command-line 
goodies are welcomed. What do you find useful?

(Those really interested can dive into the fun arcanery via a few beers 
later in the evening!)

Doors open: 19:15 for 19:45 start at:

The Star Inn
22 Middle Street
Beeston
Nottingham
NG9 1FX
Tel: 0115 922 2234


Post-talk beers there: 21:00-ish

See: http://www.nottingham.lug.org.uk/
for further details. (Refresh your caches!)


All are welcome.

Cheers,
Martin
