Hi,
Just a quick question/suggestion: Why Kubuntu? Wouldn't it be better to
use Linux Mint (there is a KDE edition, I think) or any other derivative
which brings all the multimedia stuff (flash, codecs, etc) preinstalled
thus offering a complete out-of-the-box experience?
http://linuxmint.com/
In addition, those systems (be it Ubuntu or Kubuntu or the regular Mint
editions) are rather resource-hungry. Being a Green Party event,
wouldn't it be worthy mentioning other distros which focuss either on
energy-saving, such as WattOS:
http://www.planetwatt.com/
as well as distros focussing on old computers (so that people can still
use them rather than purchasing new ones)?

Furthermore, in addition to the operating system, I guess one should say
a word or two about useful free applications such as Libre/Openoffice,
the Gimp, Inkscape, KDEnlive, etc.
Just my 2-3 cents...
Kind regards,
Miro

Hello,
In the second half of February we would like to organize a Linux
"Schnupperkuer".
It would be held in Oetrange on an evening (2hrs) and would be Organized
by the
Green party of Contern (so room, flyers, cartering ... are not our concern)
I prepared a wiki-page for the event:

have forgotten
