Before to do 'duplicated' work, is there anybody that has made something similar already that wants to share to be re-used/adapted to the need?
I really applaud what you're doing. The best form of marketing we can have is training and documentation. Most people trying to figure everything out by themselves at home with trial and error fail badly - either for lacking motivation, knowledge or time - or all three. Our lug has been discussing doing a basic course for desktop users. Didn't get much further than deciding on some topics to cover: * Introduction What's GNU/Linux, why use it, why not use it * Installation Partitioning, dual boot * Desktop The basics of navigating KDE and GNOME and some neat tricks * Package management Packages, repositories, dynamic linking, dependencies etc. * Command line Basic commands, file management, system monitoring, vim basics, package management * Troubleshooting and getting help basic tips like viewing logs, dmesg, trying a new user etc. Telling about irc, forums and maillinglists for getting help. * Free software / open source The history, the main licenses, copyleft, how the community works, economy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
