It was made clear in the meeting that the DGPLUG members are free to choose whichever Distro they like. Infact, some DGPLUG members are not limited to using Fedora. Manish Roy and Mijanur Rahman, who joined us in DGPLUG meet today has been using UBUNTU and he was encouraged to carry on with that rather than switching to Fedora. Those already using Fedora were encouraged to take the advantage of Virtualization tools like Vmware, VirtualBox, etc. to test different distros of Linux. **Bijra Project :* Kishan and Ratnadeep shared their first experience of Bijra High School. Possible steps to be taken to increase the frequency of classes and man power committed to the project were discussed. The modules(in Bengali) which were being used earlier for assistance in teaching will be continued and new ones (also in Bengali). Small tutorials in bengali, mostly kde edu are being written (to be used as a handout as most of the students don't have a computer). The tools are: *KBruch *Kalzium *KGeography *KTouch *Marble *KHangMan *Parley *TuxPaint *KPercentage *Sudoku *KStars need help with podcast in this regard...Kushal is doing so already, more are welcome. **Tips and suggestions to the Linux newbies:* Use of Google search was encouraged both for learning and solving the problems. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dgplug.org/listinfo.cgi/users-dgplug.org
