Abstract

The Linux Operating System and the generality of their various distributions are an interesting proposal in the modern world; many of them promote the Free Software Movement as a way of liberation towards the barriers defined by the proprietary Software. Cuba has been gradually migrating and introducing the free Software (SWL) in society. The Cuban educational processes are heading towards the free Software. We are advocating for the use of  tools in the creation or modification of Softwares aimed at the improvement of education. The total change of the Windows operating system and other related programs for free applications or patents of its own, is a decisive step for national technological sovereignty, but this carries out  the need for a progressive preliminary training for a better understanding and use of the advantages of this type of Software, in addition it has a positive acceptance by users. Therefore, it becomes available to users interested in the subject, a set of exercises in order to develop skills in the use of the Suite Office for Linux and others applications,  contributing to a successful migration.
