I'm glad the docs are useful and being used! They are . The only gripe I have is about the press. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Presentations I had to disturb and ask kaplan for couple of presentations as for some reason they are not available here. I have tried multiple browsers but unable to get the presentations and I've been looking to get all of them. I wish all these presentations could be in some debian infrastructure. >> I did see the Squeeze release info. which came quite a bit later than >> Squeeze release http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311 >> >> Now I'll know in few days if my talk/sharing will be accepted or not. >> If it does, could you provide me with a list of things college >> students (Second year Comp.
