DESCRIPTION:Unix runs on a wide variety of machine architectures and is use
 d heavily for Internet services\, web-hosted business applications\, offic
 e workstations and Scientific Computing for research and engineering.\n\nD
 erived from Unix is Linux\, the most ubiquitous operating system in the wo
 rld today. Linux is everywhere\, from cell phones (Android) to desktop PCs
  and home WiFi routers. Of the [top 500 supercomputers](https://top500.org
 /statistics/list) in the world today\, all run the Linux OS. Most [Interne
 t servers](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/os-linux) are run by U
 nix or Linux. If you use Google or Facebook\, you indirectly use Linux. Ch
 romebook is Linux. (Your [Mac is technically Unix](https://developer.apple
 .com/library/archive/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/KernelProgramming/BSD
 /BSD.html).)\n\nWhat makes these Unix systems ubiquitous? It has much to d
 o with the licensing\, which is generally considered as [Free &amp; Open Sourc
 e](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FOSS_A_General_Introduction/Linux). Combi
 ne that with the human nature to innovate and we get substantial software 
 development\, as well as new Unix systems. Because Linux is free and open 
 source software\, many people have derived their their own operating syste
 ms from it. See for yourself at [DistroWatch](https://distrowatch.com/).\n
 \nWhy install Linux?\n• Advance your interests in Linux\, and in freedom
 .\n• Re-purpose an old computer.\n• Take control of your computer!\n\n
 What we will do\n• Discuss the core components of a Linux distribution.\
 n• Perform Linux OS and related software installs.\n• Troubleshoot ins
 talls.\n\nAgenda: \nThe meeting will begin at 6:00 PM and conclude no late
 r than 8:00 PM.\n\nLight snacks &amp; beverages will be provided.\n\nRoom: CLA
