Hi, We are commencing the new specification 'A/As' Levels from this summer - computing rather than IT - and with the more technical bent, I will be partitioning our network to include at least a few Linux workstations for the A-level students to use. Hopefully, I will be able to keep more than one step ahead of the candidates :) I cannot see thw Win' platform continuing to have it all its own way for much longer, and with the breadth of the new specifications, I can only see an appreciation of the Un*x-type os's as an advantage. I can see that I am going to have to spend an awful lot of time, a scarce resource in any busy computer department, trying to get to grips with Linux. I remember the struggle to get into Windows after being a long term DOS (and its predecessors - CP/M, RT-11 etc) user! Good luck to anyone else out there who, like me, is going to brave the unknown.
