FYM Fall 2010

Posted by on October 10, 2010 2 comments

WHAT: CPLUG’s Free Your Machine Event
WHEN: Saturday, October 16, 10AM-2PM
WHERE: 20-124 (Networks Lab)

This Satuday, CPLUG (Cal Poly Linux Users Group) will host FYM (Free
Your Machine).  FYM is a great chance to get Linux installed on your
own system, meet other Linux users, and eat lots of pizza.  By
default, we will dual boot your machine with Ubuntu (an excellent
Linux distribution) so you won’t lose your current OS.  We’ll have
Ubuntu 10.04 disks on hand to install for new users, and we can help
you install another distribution if you bring your own disks.  The
event will take place in the Networks Lab (20-124) from 10AM to 2PM.
If you have any questions about Linux in general, either come to the
event or chat with us on IRC at #cplug@freenode.net

See you there!

Winter Intro to Unix

Posted by on January 14, 2009 No comments

Since ACM has decided to hold their first meeting of the year at the
same time as our Introduction to UNIX talk, and the presenter for that
talk has requested a later date due to other obligations, we’re
postponing Intro to UNIX until Jan 20th. Sorry for that late notice.

New Date: Jan 20th
When: 7:00pm
Where: 14-301
Who: The Legendary Mark Gius

Intro to unix is for anyone who would like to learn the basics of the unix/linux command line. This event, like all of our events, is free of charge.
