Hi guys, speaking of migrating i and the guys at EACOSS are planning a funfilled event of migrating various computer users to linux. Most guys out there think linux is complicated yet they are disgruntled with windows. so they are stuck in between the two. I was requesting guest speakers and tutors for the event to come from the LUG. Any ideas are welcome.
