Sheesh... And the only thing that I know about .NET is that it is just one of those Micro$oft gimmicks. Those words "innovative and high quality software" coming from Bill's mouth really don't mean anything to me since I tried OS/2 and then Linux and FreeBSD. > You don't say.

But that will be a hundred times more difficult than promoting Linux to comp. sci. undergrads. It would be nice if computer related organizations in high schools get to try out Linux than attending those !@#!@$$@%%@ Microsoft unveilings of their latest OS(I remember one of my professors in HS unveiled Windows 95 and got my schoolmates hypnotized to buy it.) Good steps would include making CDs and books accessible. Interactive internet support will also do good. Magazines/newsletters can also be used to persuade the youth. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
