Quite Interesting. Infact, I was a bit surprised, I
thought physics had more of electronics rather than
Software! And wow!, more Physics graduates might now
probably understand why they should be using GNU/LINUX

Umm..Generally, I am against a comparison, but I would
only encourage using GNU/Linux for different purposes.

Is he using Wipro KWin on Windows for practising Linux
commands?..

This is good. BSc (Comp. Sci.) has something about
GNU/Linux, as I had posted in the original thread, but
they don't seem to be savvy for GNU/Linux in my
COLLEGE.

Aah..probably MS-CIT also teaches how to use MS
Office, as it is more common in many offices, rather
than Open Office Org
