This seminar will focus more on actually running and using a Linux / Unix system.

If you have a Linux Live-CD, please bring it so you can participate! We will have a limited number for those that do not bring one.
If you are new to Linux/Unix and want to learn more, this is the perfect oppurtunity. If you are seasoned in the Unix realm, please come by and contribute your knowledge! The seminars will be casual and open.
