dude, we aren't an IIT. Actually, SuSE is very comfortable. But the problem is that GNU/Linux can really enforce the rules. Everyone had the habit of always using the Administrator account so they could install stuff at their whim. They could chat (which is illegal according to our college btw) however long they wanted. They could do ANYTHING they wanted with windoze. SuSE didn't allow all that non-sense. For the first time all rules were enforced and it didn't go down well with anyone. Besides, that was more than a year ago. Times changed. Ubuntu has come to the scene. The biggest real hurdle I see is that some people require to access IE only websites. They really dont have a choice. They have to boot into Windows to do that which becomes annoying. Besides, none of the browsers have Flash, Java and other plugins out of the box. You have to manually do it. Does ubuntu come with all plugins installed by default? -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
