[Fifteen]

Have you ever wanted to get more out of your computer and gadgets? Do you want to know more about Linux and the open source software that makes the internet fun? If so then the UWE Linux Boot Camp is for you! The event will involve 2 ½ days of technical workshops exploring many aspects of modern technology and the use of free open source software.

The Linux Boot Camp is aimed at those, normally doing or having done A Levels, who want to do practical technical computing. We want you to get in touch with your inner geek!
The event will involve two and a half days of technical workshops exploring many aspects of modern technology and the use of free open source software. During the workshops you will learn how to revitalize your PC (or even resuscitate a dead one!) by installing and configuring Linux on it. Useful skills such as how to set up a home network and web server will be given. You could learn how to make your own router, or how to hack into various set-top boxes. At the end of the Linux Boot Camp you will be able to tap into the world of open source computing and maybe set yourself on a profitable and worthwhile career!
