Linux for Newbies!

SOMS is going to start its lecture series by introducing Linux to it members and to all those who are interested in Linux.

The AIM of this lecture is to let your minds orient towards Open source operating systems. As the OpenMoko Linux is the similar variant of Ubuntu distribution, we think it’s better to get yourself familiarize with Linux before digging into OpenMoko internals.
