Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts

Promoting Linux and Open Source Software Freedom in Atlanta Since 1994

Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts (ALE) is a diverse group of friendly people who enjoy the freedoms and benefits of GNU Linux Computing and Free Liberating Open Source Software technologies. From novices to network administrators, from smart phones to data centers, we strive to empower every information technology user with freely distributable software and to improve every computing environment with the superior security, functionality and flexibility of Open Source Operating System solutions. -- more about ALE --

For information about upcoming weekly and monthly meetings, please check the ALE Meetup Group Calendar. We do not, and never will, require anyone to sign up with Meetup (or any other service) to attend any of our meetings; we only use it as an additional platform to connect with others in the local Atlanta area who are also interested in Linux.

The ALE Central presentation for
Thursday, Jan 11th will be:

“Linux Geek Gadgets Gone Gonzo:
The Nokia N800”

Enjoy an early ogling of the latest geek crack to hit the streets…
the Linux based Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. Announced just this
past Monday morning at CES, the Nokia N800 is the successor to
the popular linux based Nokia 770. Somehow, one happened to
magically appear in the hands of our presenter, Marc Torres.

The presentation will start with an overview of what makes this
internet tablet tick and how the 800 differs from its 770 predecessor.
Then Marc will demonstrate its always connected abilities and the
range of applications available.
