Are you tired of expensive software? Oppressive operating<br />
systems? Continuous, expensive upgrades? Then join Felix<br />
Jodoin and Reva Stone <strong>for</strong> their exceptionally in<strong>for</strong>mative<br />
Introduction to Linux Workshop. Try out Ubuntu Linux and learn<br />
about the software applications it includes such as the office<br />
suite, the email client, the web browser, and image, video and<br />
audio editors.<br />
I'd like to use it . . .<br />
how do I install it on my computer?<br />
Follow up with the Linux Computer Camp where you will actually<br />
install Ubuntu Linux on your computer. You'll learn how to use<br />
Linux as a desktop operating system, and the applications it<br />
includes such as the office suite, the email client, the web<br />
browser, and even image, video and audio editors. Works great on<br />
older computers—you'll be amazed at how much snappier they<br />
become and how much more time you have because you don’t<br />
have to do Spyware & Virus cleanup.<br />
Linux is a free and Open Source operating system, and will always<br />
be that way. An operating system is the part of the computer that<br />
manages the devices and programs; without one, nothing worthwhile<br />
on the computer would be possible. It includes completely<br />
free software, installed and ready to go.<br />
reva stone is a Canadian artist well known <strong>for</strong> her<br />
work with digital technologies, including video, net art,<br />
interactive installations, robotics and responsive 3D<br />
environments. Currently she is working with voice and<br />
face recognition technologies. Stone has exhibited her<br />
work internationally. She is also active as a curator, a<br />
writer and an educator.<br />
