Topics discussed at the initial 2/28 FOSS SIG meeting:


We learned there are only three types of software:

    Closed Source Software- such as Microsoft Windows or Adobe Photoshop   
    Open Source Software- such as Linux and Open Office
    Free Software- (closed and open source) Acrobat Reader, RealPlayer, Apple Quicktime

 



We viewed a lenghty demo of PCLinuxOS2007 with a Compiz Fusion desktop and added new programs with Synaptic updater. We also demoed the Open Office Suite using the Writer, Speadsheet and Impress (Power Point). 

 

 

We discussed Live Linux CDs and how to burn ISO files to CD . Over 200 Linux distributions may be found at the DistroWatch website.
