and then you'll come and say "oh, we need to give the lecture about debugging and developing on linux". wasn't it already agreed to re-run it for the spring semester students?
Well, definitely, but this isn't what I had in mind. I was thinking more along the lines of "there's this thing called Linux, and you'll be using it this semester, and you'll hear lots of horror stories, but here are a few cool things about it" - proceed to show off stuff like desktop environments, package management, Beryl, LiveCDs... Stick a bit of lightweight F/OSS ideology and history in there... that is, something to make the people feel more at ease with Linux. Otherwise the clash with the unknowns of the commandline one experiences in Matam is often all that it takes to keep him locked in Proprietaria forever. -- Protect your digital freedom and privacy, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm Ohad Lutzky --------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
