Linux Open SUSE 10.2 Presentation
Here is a PDF
file (1.56MB) containing the presentation given by Chris Gacesa of
Novell at the PCUG Main Monthly Meeting of 2007 August 1. The file has
slides in it explaining Novell's SUSE Linux strategy and
practices. The meeting was well received by the attending
members.
Chris demonstrated many of the features of SUSE Linux (including "eye
candy") that are comparable to features of Microsoft Vista, as
presented in July's main monthly meeting (Full details of previous meetings are
listed below). Chris also mentioned numerous applications
included
for free in SUSE Linux, such as Open Office, Firefox and Evolution.
PCUG extends appreciation to Chris
Gacesa and Novell for bringing along a large supply of
free SUSE Linux install DVDs for attending members. The install disks
were appreciated and many members expressed an interest in trying SUSE
Linux.

The next Main Monthly
Meeting of the PC Users Group will be held on Wednesday 1st August 2007
from 7:30pm at the Rheinberger Centre conference room. |
| Topic: |
The presenter is Chris Gaseca, the
Solution Architect for Novell working from
their Canberra
office. He will introduce us to Novell’s
Linux offering, Open Suse 10.2, and compare it with their
Enterprise
Desktop/Server distribution.

Details:

Whether you are
already a Linux user or not, you will find the insight into this
alternative
operating system of interest. You will be able to compare the features
in Linux
with those in Windows and learn which applications you can use. Chances
are,
that you can use the same application under Linux as you now use under
Windows.
So here is something worth considering, especially as there is so
little cost
to you under the concept of open source software. Chris will tell us
about the
investment large corporations like Novell are putting into it. See his
presentation at our MMM on August 1st. There will be time
for your
questions during the presentation.
