hello luggers,
i got a knoppix cd with the 1st issue of my linux4u
subscription. i liked it verrrryyyy much.
i also realised that it is the perfect distro 4 the people in
my
class. all of them except 3 (including me) r not at all
interested in
linux. after hearing terror stories (of crashing hdds & losing
all
data) from me (my previous experiences. but these experiences
only
increased my determination of working on the linux box & that 2
at my
place), they all just ran away frm linux. but lately, i've been
getting requests frm some of them 2 install linux on their hdds
so
that they can learn linux.
when i told abt the knoppix distro, they were very excited. i
also
promised them a demo in the coll lab. but having only a pIII
550MHz,
with 64Mb of ram (also i forgot 2 decrease the screen res frm
1024x768
to 800x600 which further taxed the sys) the sys ran like hell.
in fact
it didn't run satisfactoraly at all.
still some of them want 2 buy the knoppix cds. i told them that
they
cud get them frm me @ Rs. 50/- with the FSF or GLUG logo (or
some logo
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4 that matter (they don't care)) printed. (if some cds r
remaining
frm the sale at vjti on the 14th of feb, the same cud b used
:-)))
i wud b greatful if 1 of u cud arrange 4 abt 10 cds on the next
lug
^^^^^^^
meet, which i hope is on the 9th at ruparel college. (plz
enlighten me
if it's at some other place). if the meet is after 9th, can i
get the
cds on 9th frm some place (say ne1's home (i stay at nerul,
navi
mumbai, so some1 staying close cud do the trick)) or even IITb.
ps: i wud also like 2 buy 2 cds 4 myself at Rs. 20/- each
(luggers r
entitled 2 a discount, i guess ;-))). that makes it 12 cds &
rs. 540/-, which i'll pay when i get the cds
plz let me know, as 2 when & where can i get the cds.
