Dear Alan: Because most of students use Windows, so my first step is let him/her try some freeware or open source software but not need to format / install.
MY Step 1: I use this website http://portableapps.com/ Teach them to use some freeware, like gimp, pidgin, eclipse, with USB flash disk or in the directory. or some good freeware like Clonezilla http://clonezilla.org/ To help them backup or restore their PC not use Norton Ghost®. ^^ Step 2: If they feel good with some application, like LibreOffice or pidgin.....and the others. I will suggest them to install in their WIndows. Step 3: Tell them, they can't bring their PC / Notebook to travel or everywhere because it's too heavy. ^__^ We teach how to use SUSE Studio in Class, help them create their own iso to create live CD or DVD They love to use live CD / DVD at home or in class. Some idea from my class ^^ Wish it's help for you Best regards Max 2011/6/7 Alan Clark <[email protected]>: > > >>>> On 6/5/2011 at 09:15 AM, in message > <[email protected]>, Max > <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Dear ALL: >> >> First, I am very happy to meet openSUSE guys in India ( GNOME.Asia 2011) >> ^___^ >> >> I upload some pictures at flickr ( >> http://www.flickr.com/groups/opensuse/pool/page2/ ) >> I am sorry about I didn't write any report to you.
