Why an explorer day?
We were frequently asked about Linux at the IT Café. Can you show that? What can it do? … This curiosity, which many people have, we want to pursue bundled at the Linux Discoverer Day.
Why Linux?
Linux is
- free and open source,
- ready for daily work, thanks to free alternative software for e-mail, office, browser, PDF editing, etc.,
- compatible with common hardware (printers, scanners, card readers, etc.),
- safe, thanks to hundreds of developers of open source software.
Inform. Try it out. Install.

“I’m really not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintended side effect.” Linus Torvalds, Linux inventor
