The interactive guide to Using the Linux Desktop provides online and downloadable multimedia guides based on the User Guide to Using the Linux Desktop printed materials.

The requirements for the interactive demo is a browser with Macromedia Flash Player 7 plugin installed. This is available for Windows, Linux and Mac platforms from the Macromedia website

IOSN plans to put all the training materials on a Live CD, where a user can simply insert the CD and go through the training materials on a live Linux Desktop environment without having to install Linux on their desktop computers. IOSN's Live CD will be based on the Fedora Project and the Gnome desktop platform to be consistent with the existing materials. However, this should not be construed as an endorsement of this distribution of Linux over the others on the part of the authors. An example of an existing and successful open source Live CD is Knoppix which is based on the Debian Linux distribution and the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

All materials are released under the Creative Commons Attribution License and the source files and scripts for all the modules will be made available for the final release.
