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!
