Quick tour of Linux

  • I use fedora and ubuntu, but there are no significant differences
  • Quick hints at elegance and flexibility
    • sudo /usr/sbin/chroot /ubuntu
    • I'll come back to the shell later
  • A quick run around the GUI
    • Gimp logo for this talk
    • FSlint
      • GTK GUI is produced in glade
      • No binaries (implicitly cross platform)
      • Uses shell script coprocesses
      • Different locales easily supported
