Hi friends,
I have an opportunity to teach a few courses to computer science students at Engg. college tvm. I would like to know your opinions/ideas on introducing the students to OSS. Though I havent had much interaction with the students yet, i believe that most of the 2nd year guys are not familiar with Gnu/Linux.
PS: Im new here

OSS or Free Software? If you are talking about GNU/Linux then you probably are meaning Free Sotware.

Students wont know the difference. Make them write code and that will get them interested in the entire Free Software /OSS stuff.

Aw., thats right. takes them a while to realize that Free Software is different from OSS. I had the same problem.
