Curious about Linux? Want to learn how to use a Unix environment on your own computer for class, for fun, or for your résumé? Here's your chance!

On Saturday, January 25th, 2003 from noon to 6PM (no new installs after 5pm), the Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech will host a Linux InstallFest in the Mason Civil Engineering Building - Room 298. LUG@GT members will be on hand to answer your Linux questions and to help install Linux on your own system on your own terms, the way you want it.

Attendance is FREE -- all you have to do is show up to ask questions or bring your computer. We'll provide the help and the installation CDs, as well as other equipment.
