coordinator of the
school K.T. Kunhammad said 70 students had been trained by
experts to
install the GNU/Linux operating system in the households in
the
panchayath.
Great work!
A few months back, I helped a neighbour of mine to choose a PC for his school kids. The
kids wanted to run GNU/Linux on the system and being the local "expert", I was
expecting a call from them asking me to help them install GNU/Linux. The call never came!
Curious, I asked this fellow whether his kids had the "LINUX" thing installed on
their system. He replied: "oh yes, they got some CD's from somewhere and put it
on the machine the very next day after purchase".
And here I am, "teaching" engineering students who complain to me that this
"LINUX" thing is extremely "difficult" to use!
