This document provides an agenda for a workshop on free and open source software (FOSS) and Linux. It discusses the history and definitions of FOSS, noting that free refers to freedom rather than price. It then gives a brief introduction to Linux, describing how it was started by Linus Torvalds in 1992 and why it is popular due to its free source code and customizability. Finally, it lists some Linux distributions, installation methods, common Linux software, organizations that support FOSS, and certifications like RHCE that recognize Linux expertise.
