Until the universities stop sending mail in .doc format and requiring certain Windows-only software (Turbo C with not GCC compatible code, Solidworks, etc.) then students will have a very difficult time moving to Linux. Engineers, also, for that matter (because of Solidworks). > * Development under Linux.

This has always seemed a failure, at least in my opinion. Better that we go to the user's house / dorm and do the install there. The whole "should I move to Linux" question should be one-on-one. Note that not _everyone_ is in a position where they should move to Linux yet. > You can find last year's Telux schedule and slides here: > > http://welcome.linux.org.il/2007/timetable.html > > This year we're planning to move the "Linux Installation Process" lecture > right after the first Mini-Intro presentation, but otherwise everything will > remain the same. > I will go through the material after September 9, which is my last Moed A exam. I will add what I can. Also, if anyone in the Haifa area needs a new Linux install and some first-use experience, then mail me! I already have one waiting for me for after exams, and I have done quite a few before. I usually install Kubuntu, but I am willing to work with any distro the user wants (the one in September specifically wants SUSE). -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
