Training - Basic OS and Desktop

On the 1st of March 2007, 6 youths gathered around our training place and we had some hardware revision. We run through some basic hardware topics with new members before we started off our next lessons.

Then they were shown how Operating System loads. Our demo OS were Mandriva Linux and Windows XP. Also shown around a desktop and locate areas like main menu, icons, taskbar, etc… and in windows, my documents, my computer, start button. The difference between OS and other programs were explained. They were also shown computer drives that corresponds to the hardware devices attached and how to access them. Also the changes that happen when USB drives are plugged.

They took turns playing inside windows going through my computer, my documents, my music, playing music in windows media player and how to start a program by going through start->programs etc...
