Being the Ubuntu Guy
I’ve just got back from Harvard University Extension School where I was a guest speaker for a systems administration class. I’ve attached the 6 quick slides I used to support my presentation, but the main meat was in what I said and in the questions I answered.
I was there to talk about Gnu/Linux and Ubuntu, about the stack of software and each project and so on. Interestingly, before the class began I didn’t know that 5 of the students present were actually existing Windows admins and the meat of my talk was trying to focuse on aspects of the industry that they might not have been exposed to yet. Things like Free and Open Source principles, the history of it, why Linux and Gnu projects exist and how it works economically.
