Actually, I'm not at all convinced that this will be the first lecture. Since it's only 10 minutes, I'll barely time to touch anything but the ideology, and I'll only explain what "Linux" is in a few sentences. It may put off people to hear ideology before actually hearing what is Linux, that "linux is good" and so on... Or won't it? I am not sure what's the best way to go. > this is actually how many users might go. they begin with moving to linux > because its free, it's stable, its intriguing (nadav) If you look at my still-being-worked on lecture (http://nadav.harel.org.il/essays/chofesh/lecture.html, but it's not final at all! It's also about 50% too long), you'll see that it is more about free software than about Linux per se. Linux is mentioned, but more of as example or conclusion. The "it's stable" part is not touched at all except one word in the last paragraph - I'll need to think about adding the "better development", "faster bug fixes", "better quality" and such "open source" issues to the lecture... Maybe I should change my emphasis a bit... -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Oct 17 2002, 11 Heshvan 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Cigarette: tobacco wrapped in paper, fire http://nadav.harel.org.il |at one end, and a fool at the other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
