In the first year of this talk we discussed the meaning of owning a linux machine. In the second year we discussed a little more of why it should be important to you (aka, what nasty things the more commercial OSes had been doing lately). This year we will do a practicum with some hands-on what-it's-like to do work and gaming on a modern linux machine. As in the past there will be a few USB thumb drives to give away for those ready to take the plunge. Looking for volunteers to help with demonstration and/or equipment.
