And just who will the end user be? Hopefully an educator. And what os are they likely to use? Windows or Mac OS-10. A few enlightened folks may run Linux.
Strange... right now, the SoaS I made on a friend's PC runs only on my MacBook. The one George Hunt helped me make on my MacBook runs only on my eeePC! I still haven't figured out how to make one on the eeePC... and that is one of the reasons I bought it. No one has answered my question: If I run the LiveUSB creator program on the eeePC can I do the download directly from Fedora to the usb stick without filling up the machine's tiny memory and crashing it or causing a "fatal freeze?"
