We hope to see you there!

WHEN: Saturday, Janurary 21, 10AM-2PM
WHERE: Bldg 197, Rm 204 (Security Lab)

Come have CPLUG install Linux on your machine! We can also troubleshoot any Linux related problems you have, or you can even just show up to hang out.

By default, we will dual boot your machine with Ubuntu or Linux Mint, so you won’t lose your current OS. We’ll have Ubuntu 11.10 or Mint 12 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 Security Lab (197-204) from 10AM to 2PM. Fatte’s pizza will be available for $1 per slice.

For more information about Free Your Machine, please visit http://cplug.org/fym. RSVP on facebook here.

If you have any questions about the event or Linux in general, feel free to chat with us on IRC at #cplug on freenode.net.

Thanks, and we hope to see you there!

I realize this site hasn’t been updated in a while, but I’m gonna go ahead and grease the joints and blow the dust off this old thing. Anyway, CPLUG will be hosting the Spring FYM on Saturday, April 9, 2011. It will run from about 10AM to 2PM. Everyone and anyone is invited to show up, whether it be to have Ubuntu Linux loaded on their machine, or whether it is to just hang out with us and shoot the breeze. The meeting will be taking place in the Bonderson building (197) in room 204, courtesy of our friends in the Whitehat club (http://www.thewhitehat.org/).
