Special thanks to IanL, Mark Evans,Dan Kolb Paul & Ian
took me half hour to load Redhat onto new unformatted
hard drive in a rush as usual - great thanks
also still checking Linux ed progs slowly
I need to try out Linux at home on slower access cos
its 8:00 Friday nite and i wunts 2 go home
So many people do not believe that Linux can be any
good if its free or that Star or Open Office etc can
be any good - perhaps we should organise a day where
we charge loads for the OS and software - advertise
that its more reliable etc than MS
LTSP is still going strong
One of my Year 6s put our school logo (windows)
wallpaper on the Linux only LTSP main client as
wallpaper un beknowns to myself - I came across him
working on the machine - I flipped a lid and nearly
swore ...as I saw a child had windoze on a Linux only
machine - (really alien network possibilities running
through my head) - he watched me try and figure out
how windoze was on the machine - he then said, "Its
okay sir its not really windows I just copied it." -
with a big grin on his face!
(In less than a month with very little help my Year 6
are now more computer literate than other schools in
area - just cos they can operate two OS and adjust one
of them - (guess which one) with no damage)
Am I silly or what - cant we decide on a distro - and
go for it for schools - anybody tried blue yet?
friend tried Redmond last nite kept crashing
epsecially on Browse function anybody else had that
trouble - or perhaps its the machine - got it off
Linuxformat mag.
Great emails thanks - like all this arguing bout A
levels etc - I taught (gave them the books & mags)
Year 6s to write BBC basic back in old days approx
10/12 years ago - they wrote games etc on beebs an
electrons 50% of curriculum time - obviously wrong ho
ho
Yours Ronald
