PLUG is giving a presentation about Linux/open source software at Earhart this week.
When: Tuesday, February 10th @ 8:15pm
Where: Earhart Residence Hall, East Rec Lounge
This presentation is done per the request of one of the RAs at Earhart. This will be a good presentation for people new to Linux, as it will be a general overview of what Linux and open source software are. We will give a brief history and overview, some demonstrations and then open it up for questions.
Hope to see a lot of you there.

Welcome to the brand-spanking-new Purdue Linux Users Group website! After many months of stagnation, the webmaster finally got tired of being lazy and got around to
- Getting an account with CSociety for hosting our site,
- Pointing our domain name at the new address, and
- Getting Wordpress installed.
Now all that remains is to get MediaWiki installed and the old data pulled off our broken old malfunctioning servers.
