if you are visiting us alone (without your pc) you will find some people who use free software and they also have some expirence in other OS ,they are pleased to explain it for. but if you bring your pc and you need to install gnu/linux it's welcomed also just make one suitable partition with 8 GB free. or unallocated space.if you can not do this it's ok just defrage your harddisk or at least one partation has free space.
I heard about the free thing! i think it will be mess? or it will be freak command line..
the word free has nothing to do with the price .it means freedom . you will see some intresting transparency window and more application seems that you are outdated check.

I have GNU/Linux installed what to do ?
we encourage everyone to bring a computer on which to install Linux. Any distribution, any version. Several members often bring in CDs, so all you really need to do is bring in a computer. Some people bring spare monitors, keyboards, and mice as well as power cables and power strips, but we encourage everyone to bring their own, as sometimes there's still not enough to go around, even with the spares. The more experienced members are there to lend a hand with any questions which may arise.
