The Egyptian GNU/Linux User Group (EGLUG http://www.eglug.org) would like to invite you to the fourth GNU/Linux Installfest in the rawabet theatre on the 1st of September from 11:00am.

We would like to give you a general idea of some of the things you will be seeing there.

If you have no idea what is an InstallFest. Make sure to visit this page: http://www.eglug.org/node/2794

Traditionally in all installfests, the number one activity on that day will probably be linux installations; as we are sure you know, we will be ready to receive people who arrive with their computers to set linux up on with them.

For people who are simply curious about linux and who want to know more, we will be demonstrating the operating system and the applications available on it. This covers a fairly large range of things. At the most basic level, we can show you what linux looks like, how it works, and describe how it differs from what you are used to, and why we feel this is better.

On a more specific level, there will be volunteers ready to show you how many different and specific tasks can be accomplished under linux, such as programming with visual tools , graphics work, clustering, networking (LANs and some fancy tricks), and all the way up to getting a solid web server up and running in 15 minutes flat.

We will be there to introduce you to the fascinating world of linux, so it is your questions and interests that matter.

Thank you for your interest, and hope to see you there.
