this is a great idea. but to do it, we would have to convert their teachers first. any ideas on how to go about this "linux conversion of teachers"? maybe a series of free linux eye-openers which we can give in a "college-tour" manner? through these "tours", linux-believing teachers (migz p., doc mana, horatio b., and others) can preach about the benefits of using open source tools for more effectively teaching programming concepts. ... just a thought =) peace! -eric -- �.--. �Enrique D.
