_(see also GnuLinuxForTecsChange for a page that I wrote to lobby Tecschange to use GNU/Linux)_ ---+ Take I A few people, working under the aegis of [[http://www.tecschange.org][TecsChange]], gave an introductory course on the GNU/Linux operating system in March/April 2003. The course lasted 6 weeks. ---++ Course Outline 1 GnuLinuxOverview: Main.TobyCabot – March 5, 2003 2 ShellToolsAndFileSystem: Forrest Sutton, Main.TobyCabot & Ed Frankenberry (Main.EdF) – March 12, 2003 3 Installation of Linux: Forrest Sutton – March 19, 2003 4 WebServerOverview: Main.TobyCabot – March 26, 2003 5 LinuxSupportAndDocumentation: Ed Frankenberry (Main.EdF) – April 2, 2003 6 Party! Pot-luck hors d'oeuvres, non-alcoholic beer, interesting music and free-form chat about GNU/Linux – April 9, 2003 ---+ Take II A couple of people are planning to teach one evening about GNU/Linux on Monday, November 1 2004 as one part of a "Computer Essentials" course. * Software * Licensing and Legal Alternatives * Open Source and other "shareware" * GNU/Linux * Overview * Installation * Operation 4 half-hours: * history/background (see FreeSoftwareEssentials) - toby * open source tools (on windows) - nathan * reboot into knoppix * open source tools on linux - nathan * discussion about places the students can use linux - nathan & toby * servers, desktops, etc * discussion of students' ideas Everybody leaves with a windows cd with firefox and openoffice, a gnoppix cd to explore on their own time, and a 2-page flyer with the course data on it. ---+ Take III In the spring of 2006 we spent a few monday evenings installing Ubuntu Breezy and playing around with it. We used a variety of machines, mostly PIII's. The hardware detection was pretty good - one Compaq didn't have its soundcard configured correctly, and one Dell had too high a resolution set so there were staticky vertical "stripes" on the page. Then we set out to figure out what people needed beyond the basic installation. * Print to Windows printer * Skype (proprietary) * Real Audio (proprietary) * share files between linux machines and linux<->windows * recovery from forgotten passwords (using live cd)
