Here are something that the 'browsing center' dudes might want:
- Does it have an audio/video player in the Live
CD?
Can it open Word documents?
How do I 'save'? Where is 'A:' and 'C:'?
How can I configure my network and share files
across machines?
Its really good job you intend to do Zabil, of course a humble deed is better than the noblest of the thoughts.
Introducing GNU/Linux has always been difficult task, having a live distro great help.Most of my friends who use Winblows or Sun Sparc's in office use knoppix to get the feel of the GNU/Linux OS.
Secondly, remember there __is__ free software apart from GNU/Linux, a cyber center fellow will certainly jump to using firefox easily than GNU/Linux OS .Now, browsing the net need not mean firing up IE.Carry along a latest version of firefox or other free software too.
They are developers working on Sun OS using a whole lot of GNU packages, same can be said 'bout Winblow with GNU tools CD.
If there is anyone willing to spend a weekend evening talking about Free Software or Stuff,we can surely find a school to host one.
Any takers !!!!
Cheers
