Why are we turning this into a flamewar and fulfilling the prophecies? Sanity could have prevailed if we had only categorized software in the following classes: crippled (shareware), gratis (freeware), non-GPL open source, and GPLed, and in cases that were Windows-only, listed Linux alternatives.
Still, my primary suggestion is to unequivocally suggest Edubuntu (or any of your favourite distributions having an education flavour, if you have a good point, but it will only fracture the original one). It may have proprietary drivers, but at least IS Linux. It should be a good start for school students, who needn't be exposed to politics so early. Let them choose gNewsense when they are able to decide for themselves. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
