Topics
1. FOSS
Introduction ? Free Vs Open Source Software ?GNU ? GPL ? copyleft
Usually, till last year this was handled by guys from ilugc. Is it the
students this year ?
2. Installation , Administration of GNU/Linux
Types of installation ? Debian, RedHat pkgs Oriented ? Basic
installation? A Linux
Kernel, Shell ? linux filesystems ? Network installation ? Remote
Desktop ? Webmin
? linuxconf ? debconf ? Yast ? Yum
I will suggest displaying
[1] a few different distros
[2] Installation demo, where we dont do a full install but just go
through the initial process of installation, especially partitioning.
Showing dual installation with an existing OS is required. Or, there can
be installation sessions every 1 or 2 hours.
[3] A separate system, expaining different shells and basic shell commands.
3.OpenOffice.org, koffice, office suites, GNU Plot
Creating text documents ? Spread sheet ? Presentation ? Drawings ?
HTML doc ?
Master doc ?3d fonts
Will be good, if existing documents done in OO are displayed. In
addition using .doc format and exporting as PDF can also be displayed.
Please, no slideshows!
> 5.Multimedia ? mplayer,XMMS,alsaplayer, vlc, Real, amarok
Playing audio, video and editing ? video compressing ? aRts control
? audocity ?
mencoder ? alsamixer ? audio/video CD Writing ? mencoder
We should ensure to make it clear why prop formats can be played by
default, why we need codecs/plugins and how to fecth them. This will
help in clearing off the idea that GNU/Linux distros are not good enough
to play multimedia as in doze.
7.Networking
NFS ? Network file sharing ? samba ? sendmail ? Netbooting
8.Security
Firewall ? cryptography ? iptables ? openSSL
A more practical demo is what needed, may be we can have sessions every
one hour while having a setup network to display stuffs round the clock.
9.Basic Programming Tools ? vim, emacs, joe, anjuta, kdevelop
WYSIWYG features ? encoding ? plugins ? writing plugins
Think we have two separate systems displaying vim and exams (and other
editors) and separate one for WYSIWYG editors/tools
10.Advanced Programming Tools
gcc ? java ? jikes ? kaffe ? Gconf ? gprof ? DDD ? Makefile ?
automake ? autoconf
A running demo on how to compile stuffs and basic ideas.

11.Perl,python

13.Web Servers ? Apache, squid, Apache Tomcat
