Build It Yourself SIG (SVCS)

Bob and Brad  will demonstrate Linux and Windows from 2 approaches. The goal is to show you ways to try Linux, where to download distributions (they're mostly FREE!), and what to watch out for during setup. Bob, a primarily Linux user since 1994, will show a dual boot system, and then concentrate on native Linux with Windows running in a virtual machine emulator. Brad, a Linux user since his retirement from Stanford University, will demonstrate a native Linux system with a variety of Window and other Linux systems all running in emulation on a new laptop.
