Again on Debian Day if the local LUG doesn't want to take or needs help. Willing to help out. The workshop would be to go through a basic install using regular installer and the GUI installer. Share thoughts about paritioning, things to do after installation, tips for security, updating and upgrading packages using both CLI (command-line) methods as well as GUI. Finish with some simple GNU/Linux commands which make life easier on the terminal.

The talk would cover my first brush with computing itself, the need and move to GNU/Linux, distro hopping and the need for that. the change to Debian and how it became my home. It would also be about the various choices and mistakes I made when I started and things to look out for. The audience would be people who are still unaware about the benefits of FOSS, community engagement and fence-sitters.
