Our training programs are described at http://www.b-lux.net/index2.html (Please note that if you are using Windows, a w3c-compliant browser such as Firefox or Mozilla or Opera is needed to use the navigation system on this page.)
Linux trainers and trainees are also welcomed from within the LUG.
A) This meeting will in Part A:-
1) Review the Linux training including certification programs of b-lux.net
2) Outline opportunities as Linux trainers (LUG members who are skilled Linux users): These include
Teaching/Demonstrating in:
Programming in Java, C/C++,
database configuration in PostgreSQL and MySQL,,
in StarOffice/OpenOffice2.x, The Gimp and KOffice,
in modern networking/system administration.
3) Outline concessionary training for less experienced LUG members/attendees.
B) The meeting in Part B will be an introduction to live Linux CDROMs.
Many modern Linux distributions are available that run from cdrom only. This procedure of running the operating-system from read-only memory results in robust and rugged machines. (You can for instance, reset the machine while it is running without incurring any 'hard-disk-errors'.)
This meeting will have a host of live-cdroms available: These include:
The Knoppix live-cdrom,
the Mandrake-Move live-cdrom,
the SuSE demo live-cdrom,
the Damm-small-Linux live-cdrom,
the Slax live-cdrom,
the Adios live-cdrom.
the Feather-Linux live-cdrom,
the Yes-Linux live-cdrom,
the Basilick live cdrom.
If you have a portable computer you can bring it along to try any or all of these live-cdroms.
