Hi, I think in the new engineering syllabus (starting this academic year), First Year students have Unix in their portion (someone please confirm this). In that case they *have* to use Linux on their machines. Regards, Nikhil.

Computers _may_ be some optional course in some school, but most of the schools have a small lab with a few computers. The thing here would be to introduce the teachers to Linux who in turn will enlighten the students. quasi _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

How many machines will be Linuxed (shifted to linux under our initiative '-) in a typical college setting? Do we really require such exotic hardware as with 11GB of ram? Could we not manage with say a P4 or Atholon dual processor with 1-2 GB or ram (with 128Mb(a)Rs.600 right now it seems possible)? And the very thin clients could be replaced with already existing P100Mhz's & 486's & such older hardware? What is happening is that many places the older machines are being neglected as they cannot comfortably run, say O2K or some such hogg software. Most importantly I suppose we must see what the machines are used primarily in college for. I think that programming (for the CS depts.), running special software (for other depts.) and creating reports and other documentation will be a primarily task. quasi _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
