SIG-Linux Topic: Several diverse topics from the world of Linux
Presented by Sharan Kalwani
Sharan will touch upon several diverse topics from the world of Linux.
First will be a list of commands once an integral part of Linux, that are being retired or deprecated. Many of us will be sad to see them go, but they have been replaced by newer, more elegant, and uniform style commands. A few of these will be shared and discussed.
The second topic will be some Linux distros that are now on the verge of being discontinued for a variety of reasons. The world of Linux distros is vast and very much mirrors our own ecosystem. Some distros will grow, some will survive, and some will wither away. Sharan will highlight a few of those distros.
Finally, a discussion of customization choices on Linux vs Windows – will help wrap up this session..
