Ubuntu for Total Beginners / Ubuntu InstallFest - 1st Saturday Every Other Month

An introduction to Ubuntu for total beginners. This Meetup is for new users who are at the "barely can work a mouse" level... who do not yet understand how to use Copy & Paste. http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/smile.gif

Seriously... This discussion is for total beginners.... who want to know how to use their computer, with Ubuntu installed, to do everyday common tasks like, how to:

browse the web copy and paste download and upload pictures and files basics of internet privacy discussion of the best ubuntu apps for common tasks problems and troubleshooting (bring your laptop or tower, if you dare http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/wink.gif ) If you're not a TOTAL beginner, we guarantee that you're going to be totally bored at this meetup. This meetup may be for your Mom... or your Brother-in-Law George. http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/wink.gif

We seriously will be teaching people how to use Copy & Paste successfully... using Ubuntu.

And things like... How to get that photo of yourself that your friend emailed to you... up to your match.com profile.

This Meetup also acts as an Ubuntu InstallFest

This means, anyone who'd like to have Ubuntu installed on their laptop, can bring it... and those techie-types in attendance might just be willing to attempt to install it for you for free.

Techies types: Please be sure to bring all of your install CDs/DVDs/USB drives, for the past few versions of Ubuntu, including the "alternate install" versions.

If you want Ubuntu installed on your computer, bring it with you, including all the necessary power cords, etc. they might need. Bring anything you think they might need.

Come, share, learn, teach, socialize, network, connect.
There is no cost for this meet-up ever.

When you arrive...

Press the night buzzer for the 5th Floor (if after 5pm).
Just be friendly. :-) And introduce each new person to every other new person, as people arrive...
The rest will happen naturally. :-)

Call with Questions Anytime...

If you have any questions, or need help getting in, please don't hesitate to call 646-580-0022 at any time.
