This massive effort has created a computer system thought by many to be more reliable and more flexible than those produced by traditional proprietary approaches. The Demo Day event is an international demonstration of the Linux Operating System. Other demonstrations will show Linux on the desktop running word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and graphics applications. DOS applications will also be demonstrated. Currently, Linux Demo Day has gained participants from ten countries, including the United States, Costa Rica, France and Indonesia, and over 100 user groups, a number that is still growing.
Monthly meetings offer members opportunities for support, networking, and socializing.
