I need to do a presentation, in school, next week, about Linux.
The presentation shouldn't be longer than 10 minutes.
What should I put in there?
I'm by far no newbie in Linux and that's kinda the problem here, since I know way to much, to put it in 10 minutes.

    Show them some points which make clear, that unix is made for developers, like even critical commands dont ask if you are sure to wipe your disk

    What class? How computer-literate is the audience?

    In general I'd think 10 minutes is just enough to touch on the cardinal points of Linux's history, what it was inspired by, what it was/is in competition against, how it got to be used as much as it is today, and where it is most used today. Don't lose yourself in the details.

    if you are ready for the presentation and have time, you could prepare a page with some statements from the halloween documents(eee: embrace, extend, extinguish, fud) and/or antitrust. They are good for the question why ms is so dominant.

    Class is "Creation and Roll-Out of applications" (roughly translated from German).
    Its a, first year, trade school class.
    Tech knowledge varies wildly between the other students.

    I had to do pretty much the same, but it was in English instead of German. If you want I can upload my slides somewhere?

    Edit: Forgot, it's already on GitHub: https://github.com/taneher/HSLU/...
    (Made with LaTeX)

    Edit again: Ot was even in German. So if you can use it, feel free.
