LSU is very close to Missasipi. Whenever public schools are rated
in the press New Mexico is 49th and we say Thank God for Ms! Brock you
should try to educate the masses there. I hold installfests in the
computer lab room where 20 people can get their own linux running. I bet
you would get 50 at a well advertised installfest.
By the way New Mexico State U requires that you have a Linux
computer and the classes assume this tool is available. Some of the upper
classmen have really great computers. We EE just have modest mmx200
processors and a few meg of ram and a few Gig of HD.
