Re: [Ilugc] Free laptops from TN Govt - Choice of OS

I said we shouldn't force Linux on people like Windows was once done (in above context), that way Linux would become the new windows. I hope every linux user would accept that Linux shouldn't be forced, but just be given as a choice and that is what FOSS is all about Freedom to choose and use as we like to. I agree. Dual booting gives more freedom of choice than single booting Linux. Windows/Linux both are required especially if their curriculum includes both. Doesn't that make sense. Imagine a curriculum with a few chapters dedicated to Windows and the students have laptops with Linux only. IMO, if there should be a complete removal of Windows, it should start from the curriculum and only after that removed from the laptops. Does anyone know if the current curriculum has excluded Windows completely? If it has been excluded completely, then I agree that single booting Linux totally makes sense. -magesh ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
