Bash Presentation and Intro to the Command Line

Our next talk will be on the Bash Shell and different commands.  If you are scared by it, interested in it, or just looking for some tips, HEath will be showing you how great it is.

Last year it turned into a roundtable discussion so all the guys that use their shell all day, still got to learn things. 

I will be bringing a few things I have learned, as I learn something new every week on the shell.

Open Office Presentation

I have been using Open office for a few years now and I am constantly amazed at how cool Open Source software is.  Open Office works in windows, on the Mac, and of course Linux.  The plugin system is very similar to Firefox, you browse the plugins on the web and click to install them.  There are plugins for everything I could think to look for.  Check it out http://www.openoffice.org/
