SuSE Saturday

The idea for SuSE Saturday came about at a PSNUG meeting. We want
to introduce SuSE Linux to new users who would like to expand their knowledge about Linux. These classes are introduction level.

Bring your workstation or laptop* to install and configure SuSE Linux.
Don't have a system to bring? Just let us know and we can have a
system for you to use for the day. (Also, if you don't want to carry a monitor and keyboard, we can provide them for you for the day.)

Agenda:

Week 1: Morning - Introduction to SuSE Linux,
Overview of Installation, Desktop, KDE, GNOME
Afternoon – Installation labs

Week 2: Morning – Review Week 1,
Overview of Desktop features including Internet
Connections, YaST, Firefox, and other desktop
applications
Afternoon – Desktop labs

Week 3: Morning – Review Weeks 1 & 2,
Overview of Networking services including Samba,
NFS, troubleshooting IP connectivity
Afternoon – Networking labs
*Minimum system requirements:

Intel Pentium II or Xeon processor or AMD, Duran Athlon (XP, MP, 64)

512 MB RAM

5-10 GB Hard drive space

Optional - for GXS support – NVIDIA and ATI cards provide additional support

Although we have a very high success rate with these labs, we cannot guarantee successful installations on all systems. (We will try really hard, though !!)
