Twisted Lincoln, Inc.™ is proud to present our new weekly seminar regarding the promotion and use of the GNU/Linux Operating System.

The purpose of this course is to provide basic information regarding Free Software and its operation.  The class is aimed at the novice user, and requires no prior knowledge of the GNU/Linux O.S. or Free Software in general.

Below is a summary of the current classes to date.   Each class summary is accompanied by a video of the original live presentation, in the Free media format Ogg Theora.

Each presentation is available to be viewed online via a streaming Java applet, as well as via download for offline viewing.  No specific codec is required to watch online, but some operating systems do require a codec to be loaded to view the file if downloaded.

More information about the Ogg Theora codec (as well as codec downloads) can be found on another website in the Twisted Lincoln, Inc. network:  OggWatch™ -- Ogg Theora [1].
