John Carter would like to introduce you — and your PC friends, too — to Linux at the next scheduled meeting of the joint PMUG/PCS SIG, September 29 from 1 to 3 PM in the Founders Suite at the Prescott Library.

What's Linux? John explains, "Linux is an alternative operating system, and it is free as are the majority of the applications that run under Linux. There are several distributions of Linux, so many in fact that it can be very confusing to figure out which one to use."

John will demonstrate several of the different distributions and "try to show how easy Linux is to use and manage, depending on which distribution you choose. Whether you are interested in using Linux or not, this is a must-attend SIG so you won't be left wondering what the fuss is all about."
