Showing just GUI wont be a real part of showing linux, atleast for the
grownups. Linux becomes unique over it power in using the command
line, not many us of windows users know making proper use of DOS
mode. Atleast for some beginners to linux we gotta shpw some
programming stuff... atleast hav them in hand for necessity!
Ok, something just hit me. Most of the audience interested in Linux
should have had some experience or the other regarding computers, Now
giving a talk about Linux to some1 who doesnt even know how to start a
computer doesnt make sense. So our guests should atleast be someone who
has a PC at home or someone who is destined to work with them. That
said, most of our guests should be like just-got-a-pc-last-week type. So
thats our biggest advantage. Now there would be also people who have
just turned geeky or atleast think themselves to be Bruce Eckel, They
would also comprise a major chunk because there's always a notion that
Linux is for geeks and NASA scientists, so naturally they would be
interested. But this really depends on the media coverage and lets keep
our fingers-crossed. Now coming to the point, for the most difficult
category, the one between a newbie and an expert, we can like give
flyers with some basic shell commands. Also what about BLENDER, the open
source 3d tool. It is atleast more or less on par with its commercial
cousins, this should attract younger audiences
& Thanx for ur compliments, Prashanth :-)
