[Acm-announce] Newbie Week! [September 23 - 27, 2013] | Linux InstallFest! [September 27, 2013]

[Chase Lee]

Hey Linux Newbies!

This week, the Linux Users Group (LUG at UIC) will be hosting their annual 
Linux *Newbie Week*!  Newbie week will start on September 23 and 
conclude on September 27.  For those of you who don't know, Newbie Week 
is a chance for new users to learn more about Linux!  At first, Linux 
may be a daunting thing to handle... With all these terminal commands 
and unfamiliar toolsets.  We hope that after learning about Linux, you 
will understand a bit more about the operating system and perhaps gain 
an appreciation for all the Linux goodness! ;-)  If you are a CS major 
you are bound to dabble with Linux at some point or another, so get a 
jump start on learning more about Linux!  Each day this week, LUG will 
present a topic relating to Linux and YOU(the newbie).  The schedule is 
as follows:

  * September 23, 2013 @ 5:00PM - Installing Ubuntu Linux
  * September 24, 2013 @ 5:00PM - Using the Shell
  * September 25, 2013 @ 5:00PM - Connecting to Linux From Other Systems
    (Remote Access)
  * September 26, 2013 @ 5:00PM - Using Linux at UIC
  * September 27, 2013 @ 5:00PM - Working with Code

Each presentation will be presented in SELE 2254 and/or around the 
LUG/ACM Office area.

For those of you who would like to try out Linux on your own computer, 
we will also be having an *InstallFest* as well!  For those interested, 
we will help out anyone willing to install Linux on their own computers 
(or at least a VM) at the conclusion of Friday's presentation!

If you have any questions, please let us know by beginning a discussion 
on the ACM/LUG listserv or by contacting one of the LUG officers directly.

Hope you're ready for a Linux-filled week!
