Introduction to Ubuntu seminar a success.

Where can you go to get a semi-private tutorial about the world’s fastest growing Linux distribution, and buy a descent cup of coffee at the same time. The only place I know is the Linux Caffe, the focal point for the Linux community in Toronto.

Dave Sullivan, Consultant with Lophyte Technology Consulting delivered a solid presentation on Dapper Drake Ubuntu 6.06 .The knowledge base of the participants ranged for the well experienced to one person who had installed Ubuntu the day before. Dave wasn’t phased when answering the technical questions from the Linux veterans and the more general questions with the Ubuntu newbies. I left the seminar wanting to get home quickly to apply what I had learned.

As an Ubuntu newbie myself I feel obliged to share my experience and share some of the links that I have picked along the way.

There will be more seminars at the Linux Caffe register early to get the best introduction to Ubuntu you are going to get anywhere. For those who are wanting to participate in the growing Ubuntu movement, the Ubuntu Toronto LUG will be having a meeting at the Linux Caffe on Wednesday 15 November 2006
