It would actually work better if we had a StudentForce GNU/Linux or something like that with a ground up package manager and 0 config tools (so that people dont depend on a single tool for grow up the *nix way) . Here we can allocate a package or two to every interested student and watch it progress.. I am sure it will grow into a huuuuge distro. Of course we can have trusted users, community repos etc. I love the Archlinux project for that. - Ash Be yourself everyday, every way _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
