ANNOUNCEMENT: Linux One Class
_______________________________________________________________________________
Following up on last nights wildly successful first Free Software Institute
Meeting, the Chair of the Institute, and myself, wish to introduce the first
class of our cradle to grave Linux/Free Software program.
Paul will followup on the complete program, but I would like to announce the
first class. This is a very exciting begining.
The first class is called Intoduction to Linux. The cost is $200 plus you can
get purchase a computer through our network of hardware vendors to participate
in the class. This class goes through the installation process of Linux on
standard hardware and ONLY hardware which we order through our vendor will be
allowed to be used in the classroom. This prevents us from turning into
installfest maddness.
People who spring for the machine (for less than $500) will beable to use it in
further classes as we learn to build a powerful system.
The class will be 5 classes in 5 weeks from Monday Febuary 4th until March 4th.
All students MUST pay in advanced.
The time of the class will be 7PM - 10:30PM We might push later is required. We
will also meet on line for instruction on an agreed upon weeksly time to fill
out about 6 hours a weeks instruction.
We will hold class at Rosenswieg and Maffia at 845 3rd Avenue in Midtown
Manhattan
A maximum of 20 students can be accomedated.
