Hello,
In the second half of February we would like to organize a Linux
"Schnupperkuer".
It would be held in Oetrange on an evening (2hrs) and would be Organized
by the
Green party of Contern (so room, flyers, cartering ... are not our concern)
I prepared a wiki-page for the event:
https://www.lilux.lu/lilux/mediawiki/index.php/LinuxBasics2013
Any help would be greatly appreciated as there are some parts that I may
have forgotten
and some items I still did not solve myslef (put music on iPhone)
Best regards
Thierry

Hi,
Just a quick question/suggestion: Why Kubuntu? Wouldn't it be better to
use Linux Mint (there is a KDE edition, I think) or any other derivative
which brings all the multimedia stuff (flash, codecs, etc) preinstalled
thus offering a complete out-of-the-box experience?
http://linuxmint.com/
In addition, those systems (be it Ubuntu or Kubuntu or the regular Mint
editions) are rather resource-hungry. Being a Green Party event,
wouldn't it be worthy mentioning other distros which focuss either on
energy-saving, such as WattOS:
http://www.planetwatt.com/
as well as distros focussing on old computers (so that people can still
use them rather than purchasing new ones)?
http://distrowatch.com/search.php?ostype=All&category=Old+Computers&…
Furthermore, in addition to the operating system, I guess one should say
a word or two about useful free applications such as Libre/Openoffice,
the Gimp, Inkscape, KDEnlive, etc.
Just my 2-3 cents...
Kind regards,
Miro

Depends on who gives the course. Alain and myself use Kubuntu and it
will be easier for us to explain what we use.

Good point but again we want to show the most common cases. I will have
to try this distribution sometime.
But anyway it's good to mention.

We have only 2 hours and we will see what we may inclyde.
Anyway I will update the wiki with this precious contibution.
Thanks
