idgi, Why would you use linux? No one makes working software for it. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 28, 2012 at 8:01 AM, jim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim@systemateka.com" target="_blank">jim@systemateka.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Sounds great to me. I believe what James suggested<br>
was an intro to Linux for people who are pretty much<br>
unfamiliar with it, probably Mac or Windows users who<br>
are curious to know what it's about.<br>
Assuming so, an intro would begin with essential<br>
GUI orientation with an overview of available apps<br>
and rudimentary exercise of wi-fi and a web browser.<br>
Getting into CLI stuff would be an "advanced"<br>
topic.<br>
That's my impression of what's needed. Anything<br>
you want to teach, of course, is welcome.<br>
<br>
On Tuesdays from 3 to 4:30 PM we have a Linux Sys<br>
Admin class that's got a heavy CLI component.<br>
On Wednesdays from 6 to 8 PM there's a Linux<br>
discussion group that's free wheeling, partly a time<br>
and place for Linux people to hook up, partly a time<br>
and place for people to bring fix-it problems, partly<br>
check out news....<br>
