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

  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/  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.

  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&…

  Good point too.

  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.
  We have only 2 hours and we will see what we may inclyde.

 Anyway I will update the wiki with this precious contibution.
 Thanks

  Just my 2-3 cents...

 Kind regards,

 Miro

  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
