Topic: Linux for Windows Users * Quick ALE-NW Org Discussion Most of the meeting will be spent on the last bullet and I doubt we’ll get through the material.<\/p>\n What is Linux, where to get it, architecture, distros, why diff distros, DEs, Package Managers, CLI\/Shell, a few useful commands, file system layout, disk layout, special files\/devices, installation or LiveCD?, runlevels, multi-user considerations, and common software. Finishing up with links to get more information on the different distros.<\/p>\n This will all be overviews and generalizations due to the time, but will provide the why-does-linux-work-this-way answer for Windows users. If nothing else, Linux is flexible which is the greatest asset.<\/p>\n Hope you can make it!<\/p>\n Bio:<\/strong> =================================== ALE-NW Meeting This SPECIAL ALE-NW@SPSU meeting is being held THIS Thursday August 28th, 2014 at 7:30pm in room J-266 of the Atrium (J) building on the SPSU campus.
