Aims and
Scope of the conference |
Linux, an operating system initially designed
by a Finnish student, and now developed by hundredths of programmers from
all over the world communicating over the Internet, has made out of the
group of its fans and gained a firm place next to commercial operating
systems.
An ever growing number of applications,
free and commercial, is being written or ported to Linux. Today, Linux
is used for tasks where a few years ago costly systems were necessary.
Furthermore, the open development model
makes Linux highly valuable in the teaching context: one can study the
internals of this operating system, modify them and submit an enhanced
version of the Operating System to the rest of the Linux users' community,
thus contributing to the development of the system itself.
Aim of this conference is giving a wide-scope
picture of the Linux landscape for those who wish to approach it, and specific
technical information to experienced users.
