Hi! Welcome to the best thing to happen to Linux users in N.I.T.
Goals of ISTE-LUG are:
1. Advocacy of Linux :To help Reckers to start using Linux. Follow up to make sure that they are able to use it effectively. Help in getting Linux installed in N.I.T.'s various Computer centres and elsewhere.
2. Education the goal of ISTE-LUG Education is the single most important goal a LUG may undertake. ISTE LUG can have the greatest impact on the Linux Movement by educating and training Linux users in RECK. The ISTE LUG is a valuable resource in RECK for enhancement or creation of advanced computer skills: Unix-like system administration, system programming, support and creation of Internet and Intranet technologies, etc. Free education about free Linux also highlights the degree to which Linux is part and parcel of the free software Community. So it seems appropriate that we at ISTE-LUG focus not solely on Linux education but also education about all of the various software systems and technologies that run under Linux
3. ISTE-LUG supports Users of LINUX.The most frequent complaint from new Linux users, once they have gotten Linux installed, is the steep learning curve which is not at all unique to Linux but is, rather, a characteristic of all modern Unixes. With the steepness of the learning curve, however, comes the power and flexibility of a complex operating system.
The local LUG is often the only resource that a new Linux user has available to help flatten out the learning curve. Even advanced users often learn new tricks or techniques simply by becoming involved in ISTE-LUG
