The day will be structured to have two pre-planned teaching sessions which form an introduction to Linux aimed at absolute beginners. There is also some time available to work in small groups on specific tasks, e.g. for people who are already using Linux but need a bit of help with something. The atmosphere will be informal so you can take extra breaks any time you want.
