KDE vs Gnome
Jesus College, Oxford
6.15pm for 6.30pm
In the Red corner, the German contender. Now at release 1.1 and showing real signs of maturity, KDE could be a real contender in the linux desktop stakes. But in the Blue corner, all the way from Mexico stands the Gnome, ready to take on all comers in his (her?) 1.0 livery. Let the showdown commence!
Jo Dillon and Phil Armstrong will be demonstrating both KDE and Gnome in all their finery - and hopefully extolling the good points of both!
Then there'll be a chance to ask any other Linux questions you have and we'll progress to a nearby pub no later than 8.30pm.
The entrance to Jesus College is in Turl Street. A map of Central Oxford can be found at http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/icons/oxmap01.gif (50k) or http://biop.ox.ac.uk/www/pub_guide/map2.jpg (330k) and there are links to other maps at http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/ox/maps.html .

Wine: Windows on Unix
8pm, Thursday 11th March
Computing Laboratory Lecture Theatre
Wine is an implementation of the Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs on top of X and Unix. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft Free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available. http://www.winehq.com/
