Ubuntu Presentation

Today, I gave ap presentation about Ubuntu, an extremely popular Linux distribution. I inserted a LiveCD into a computer running Windows, and booted it up. Soon after I saw the pretty desktop on all three screens. The three screens consist of the monitor attached to the computer, and two projectors that duplicate whatever is on the monitor.

The presentation did not come without its problems, though. The Ubuntu 7.10 disc decided not to work, but we had a spare 6.10 disc. Even though that release was more than a year old, it still was basically similar for presentation purposes. It turns out everyone liked it, and I had plenty of fun. Maybe I'll have to do it again sometime.

A person I know wanted me to give her the current releases of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu 7.10. The good thing is that I can burn her some Ubuntu discs and give it to her without worrying about software licensing and piracy. She also borrowed the disc I used in the presentation, but she really needs to try out the current releases. She will be happy when I give those to her.

Maybe you have presented something to a group of people. If you haven't, try doing a presentation about Ubuntu, or something else, like open-source software for Mac or Windows. Or maybe you can talk about something you actually like. It's your choice...
