Unfortunately I won't be there again. I'm still compiling some introsession for a school, and could use some ideas on what to show 1) using the live CD 2) using a normally installed system.
I would like to know the following background info, to answer some probable questions.. a) Why does Linux need so little memory to run (min 384MB if I'm not mistaken), compared to Windows (min 1GB I think)? b) Why isn't it necessary to 'defragment' a Linux hard disk, like one needs to do in Windows? c)Confirm that software packages in Linux are much lighter because of the multi-package structure. If not, please give reason. d)Confirm that the most important safety feature in Linux is due to the fact that you always need a password to become root, and that the second most important reason is that there is little standardisation, so difficult to write malware that works on all flavours of the target software. e) Confirm that apps usually run faster in Linux than in Windows, because of the different memory management. Those are just some of the things I can think of now. I'd love to hear feedback from the experts here. Regards, Jan.
