Linux is [[Free Software]], in that no one person or company owns or controls it. Anyone may use, modify, and/or redistribute Linux freely. There is a huge selection of software available for Linux, much of it high-quality, and much of it freely available. !MythTV is but one application of the power of Linux. For more information on Linux, visit the http://www.linux.org/ web site. ---++ About the event You will bring a computer with appropriate hardware installed. We will walk everyone though the process of installing and configuring Linux and !MythTV. When you leave, you will have a fully-functional !MythTV DVR, ready to hook-up at your home. There is no charge for attendance. Advance registration is required; please see http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/MythFest GNHLUG is the [[http://www.gnhlug.org][Greater New Hampshire Linux User Group]]. NHTI is the [[http://www.nhti.edu/][New Hampshire Technical Institute]]. We are doing this as a service to the community, because we like Linux, and because we needed this help ourselves at one time.
