Hello again. Thanks to those who gave me valuable examples. Some of those definitely go on board.
My (lightning) lecture, as planned, is going to give the practical perspective on why Linux should interest students here and now. I leave the ideological part to Monday. There are millions of things I'd like to talk about, but I try to keep it 20 minutes in the planning (knowing it is likely to get slightly longer). I'll focus on two points: One is to show that they are likely to encounter Linux in their professional lives. The second is to explain why bother learning tools which are not appealing at first glance (such as vi, emacs, gcc, make), and why those Windows-lookalike things on Linux are nice to have at best, but not the thing to look at. To me, these are the two most important points. I hope some of you agree with me. If you don't, you're most welcome to give it a try on the next W2L event. Thanks again, Eli -- Web: http://www.billauer.co.il _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
