GNU/Linux
Live CD and install (Ubuntu Debian Distribution)
-
Other Live
Linux Distributions may be demonstrated.

Gnome

Gimp and
other included Applications

|
| We do our
demonstrations using the "Point & Click" desktop interfaces
common to the GNU/Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, SUSE, Red
Hat, etc. You’ll feel right at home, and you may decide you
can’t live without your own GNU/Linux machine. Or you can learn
how to dual boot with Windows. If you want to know more about
the “innards” of GNU/Linux, someone can show you. Our goal is to
have fun, learn more about GNU/Linux, and in the process learn
to respect all operating systems. |

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a
California public benefit corporation, with 501(c)3 tax-exempt
status, founded in 1998.
The OSI are the
stewards of the Open Source Definition
(OSD)
and the community-recognized body for reviewing and approving
licenses as OSD-conformant.
The OSI is
actively involved in Open Source community-building and
education.
OSI Board
members frequently travel the world to attend Open Source
conferences and events, meet with open source developers and
users, and to discuss with executives from the public and
private sectors about how Open Source technologies, licenses,
and models of development can provide economic and strategic
advantages.
