A young student-friend from Goa, Ajoy Kunkolienkar, recently put out this post. Could we do something to encourage such thinking? Any further development of the CD-for-engineering-students plan? FN

hi everybody!

i've been trying some stuff over the last week which prompts me to post this mail... what i'm basically trying to do is to create an option or rather highlight an already existing option to the student community. in any course in computer science , the subjects of RDBMS ,OOP , Networking and software engineering are common .. and they form the scope of the Bsc compute science course offered by various colleges affltd. to the GU. Most of the colleges (almost all) use MS windows as the default platform for conducting practicals in the above subjects.I tried doing otherwise ie. using *Linux* for all practicals and by doing so, i hoped to give others a choice too..

i tried the foll. combinations , but some have shortcommings.. can someone help me out with them?

SUBJECT TRADITION LINUX REVOLUTION ;) STATUS ------- --------- ------------------ -------- OOP(c++) Turbo C++ GCC(G++) + vi *successful

RDBMS Vb+Oracle8i PHP+MySQL **see bottom

HTML ie netscape obvious

Networking BSD sockets(GCC) same no change

S/w Engg. MS.Project Mr.Project ***successful

=============================================================================

* I downloaded david 1.02 which is supposed to be a full fledged c/c++ IDE for Gnome .. but it takes a hell lot of time to start and it crashes very very frequently.. Arvind Y. is supposed to provide me Anjuta .. guess that can be a good option to TC++ .. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** i tried the MySQL 3.22 server ( too old?? ) everything works fine but 3.22 dosent support checks ,views and foreign keys. (emulates foreign keys) can someone suggest a replacement??? i cant get my hands on Oracle 9i for linux ..that could be a solution i guess.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Can anyone suggest any good case tools for linux?? --------------------------------------------------------------------------

hoping for a reply,
