news 28 Posted February 10, 2013 Know someone who should – or wants to – learn Linux? SCALE 11X is bringing back last year's very successful Linux Training class, an intensive, two-day training class the same weekend as the expo at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel. Presented by professional trainers from One Source Course and SCALE volunteers, students will come away with the ability to install and maintain a Linux operating system. Cost of the class is $35, which includes installation media, training handouts, and a pass to the Linux Expo floor. Expo seminar access is not included because the training class will occupy all of both Saturday and Sunday. Attendees are expected to bring a computer suitable for installing Linux. Laptops are encouraged but desktops are acceptable. Installations will be Linux-only; dual-booting is beyond the scope of this class. So bring a computer you can dedicate to Linux. NOTE: Do not bring a computer running Windows 8. Microsoft has forced computer makers to implement Secure Boot, which makes installing an alternate operating system problematic. Minimum hardware requirements for Linux installation (and more is better, of course): CPU: 2.0 GHz or higher Disc Space:10 Gigabytes for installation; recommend 20-30 Gigabytes or more of additional space for data RAM: 1 Gigabyte or more Network interface: Wired: mandatory. Wireless: optional Speakers: optional For more information on the class, visit http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/linux-training-class To register for the class, visit https://reg.socallinuxexpo.org/reg6/ and click on the Linux Training Class button. In its 11th year, SCALE 11X is the first of the year open-source software expo in North America. Lodging discounts for attendees – $112 per night at the Hilton – are available by visiting http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/venue to make your hotel reservation.
