Fellow Ironworkers: If you have some spare HDD space, don't mind learning something new, and have just a small curiosity for what the other 'OS' looks like. Then consider yourselves invited to the party!
Felix's endorsement: This is not a flamebait, a troll search, nor a OS war post, just a mere friendly invite to observe the 'Penguin' in action!
Flash newsletter: Worldwide Mandriva Linux 2006 Install party on
Saturday 19
Following the release of Mandriva Linux 2006, Mandriva is mobilizing
its network of Linux User Groups (LUGs). Free community installation
sessions will take place around the world. Major participating
locations include the United States, Brazil, Canada, China, Moroco,
and the island of Reunion.
More than 60 cities are involved, including a dozen in China and 15 in
Brazil.
On Saturday, November 19, expert Mandriva Linux users are invited to
assist beginners to help them get started with the operating system. A
variety of goodies will be distributed to the participants.
Participants will be able to:
- Get help on installing Mandriva Linux on their laptop or desktop
free of charge
- View demonstrations of all that can be done with Mandriva Linux
- Get answers to their questions
- Meet other Mandriva Linux users
In the belief that installation is one the toughest steps to complete
in order to have beginners adopt a new operating system, Mandriva
invites anyone wishing to better know Linux to join the free
installation parties that are being organized on November 19.
These installation parties are made possible thanks to the power of
the knowledge sharing spirit well established within the open source
community. Mandriva fully respects the open source principles and is
happy to rally its community of users to spread the reference platform
in Desktop Linux.
