My advice is you chose the one that looks the least like windows and emphasize to your students that they are learning a new thing. The advantage I found is that learning Linux properly can teach you the basics of good secure operating systems (and usage) which windows glosses over in the guise of "getting straight to business".
Agreed, some people learn best using the above or being thrown at the deep end so to speak. I mean when I read some of your posts here not all of you learned Linux using the ones you suggested. regards Joachim _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
