What's on the command line, and how can I use it? How can I manage my files
without a graphical interface? And how can I do the things I'm used to doing
graphically? (If you come 45 minutes early, we'll help you install Linux
and Debathena on your own laptop.)

During this session, we'll talk about how to customize Linux to work exactly

Build a better life by automating things you do all the time! In this session
we'll show you the real power of linux: the ability to chain together multiple
tools to do something entirely unexpected. We'll show you how to use the shell
as a full programming language, and at the end, how to write your own tools in
your favorite scripting language
