Meet GNU/Linux 07
MGL’07 is the introduction course conducted every year for the sophomores every year by their beloved seniors ;) . It attracts lots of want to be linux users since we have some really good facilities and opportunities here .
This year it started off really well ,actually the best mgl to have happened.Lots of people ( 200+) registrants and the new annexe lab and talented speakers made it really good.Its always a nice experience to learn from your seniors .The vibe is always good :-) .
And as a bonus this time people also got their hands on a Linux booklet which helps users get going with the class and also refer for useful things later on .
It comes with Useful commands,desktops,Equivalent applications with the one in windows ,so that users dont feel handicapped.
There was also a chance to describe the eye candy stuff in linux and they loved it :-) .
I am sure there are lots of people who will find this booklet of some use .
This booklet was colloborated over the internet using a wiki ofcourse :-). If you think you have people who need an introduction and easy help with commands you can as well show them the booklet and iam sure they would love it .
Here is the booklet Link http://theyagar.info/code/glugt-booklet.pdf
