You and the team behind SchoolOS have obviously worked hard and done a good job. Your active participation and promotion of SchoolOS on various lists is very visible and commendable. However, remember that there /will/ be people who do not know about SchoolOS (in fact, you should look at that as an advantage -- more people to promote/advertise to). If you see the trend that every time you make an announcement, someone jumps with a statement 'why schoolos ?' perhaps it is an indication that you need to include the answer (or a link to the answer) in all your announcements. You'll have to do this till this information is so widely available that it is just common knowledge, and anyone (ie: not just you, anyone, including people who haven't even tried schoolOS -- for instance) can answer these questions. There was a time when people used to join a LUG list and post questions like - I heard about linux from my friend, can I install in on my Window 95 system ? Where can I find the setup.exe on the my Redhat linux CD ? what is linux ? why should I use linux ? What is the meaning/advantage of FOSS ? These days, you'd be surprised to see such a question, just because the answers are not only easy to find but also are glaringly obvious. Don't lose your cool. Keep on the good work and work towards the time when you won't have to explain 'Why schoolOS ? cheers, - steve -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
