hi all. this is in ref to dr. cito's outlines for the plug training dated 17 july
2000. attached eo this msg.
i think may's comments make sense. more suggestions?
also, orly, btw: i think i forgot to mention the engg theater. if we can enlist an
engg org (cursor? compsoc? wala na akong kilala dun, the ones i know have left up
already), then the college will let us use the theater. did you want to have a
hands-on thing? or will it be all lectures? i'm not sure if sttc aka ismed is as big
or bigger than engg or cs audi, but it's more expensive than either. it's more
aesthetically pleasing tho.

How newbie is your newbie for the training? Even more critical is what's
the background of your newbie (Linux newbie/Windows wizard, Linux
newbie/Mac wizard, Linux newbie/have used a computer before, Linux
newbie/how do you use a computer). Also we'll need to know why they'd like to use
Linux (e.g. they want to have Linux as their workstation --
i.e. replace Windows, learn a bit about installing applications, know
the available apps, maybe even teach them a bit of TeX; or maybe they want to setup a
server for their company which means you're training a system administrator).
I think the outlines you sent had different trainees in mind. What's
yours?
May
