Re: [ILUG-BOM] Meeting - Jan 9 - suggested topic

Point noted - even third year IT/Comp Engg. students in my college, when presented with a Firefox/Explorer choice, go for Explorer. Our labs use a linux/mozilla combination to isolate the LAN from the net - because in linux, the students only know how to start the browser. Its the same in a cafe. Given a choice of firefox/gaim/thunderbird (even on a windows machine) the user will start explorer/yahoo messenger/outlook. As for the billing software, these same third year students create applications from scratch for events in tech and cultural fests - surely someone more experienced can do more in linux. For the new year, I'm going to finally *TRY* connecting linux to the net and reduce windows to a 5 GB partition. :-D -- Rohit
