Abstract

Christoph will serving up another helping of Linux Soup. The target audience will be home users of Linux, and topics will cover a range of applications. Christoph will be bringing his computer from home, and describe how it's configured and used to do:

• Customizing Linux for home (X11 login screen, login profiles)
  
• Word Processing, Spread Sheets, Presentations (Applixware)

This meeting will hopefully be more of a town meeting, where input from the audience is encouraged.

There will also be a Q & A session about this Saturday's Installfest!
