Earlier this week, Jim Mann at Greene County Public Library organized a Linux workshop at his place. Several library techies from around the region attended and got some hands on experience with Linux. Most of the attendees brought a PC with them so they could take home a configured Ubuntu box with them. Topics ranged from Linux on the desktop, to servers, to virtualization.
My small contribution to the day was a lunchtime presentation on using Linux for back office stuff like web servers, mail servers, networking, etc. It’s a very general overview of the popular projects and tools out there for Linux. It’s mainly intended as a starting place for people looking to install a new service on a Linux platform. The slides from my talk are below.
