Dear Alan: Because most of students use Windows, so my first step is let him/her try some freeware or open source software but not need to format / install. MY Step 1: I use this website http://portableapps.com/ Teach them to use some freeware, like gimp, pidgin, eclipse, with USB flash disk or in the directory. or some good freeware like Clonezilla http://clonezilla.org/ To help them backup or restore their PC not use Norton Ghost®. ^^ Step 2: If they feel good with some application, like LibreOffice or pidgin.....and the others. I will suggest them to install in their WIndows. Step 3: Tell them, they can't bring their PC / Notebook to travel or everywhere because it's too heavy. ^__^ We teach how to use SUSE Studio in Class, help them create their own iso to create live CD or DVD They love to use live CD / DVD at home or in class. Some idea from my class ^^ Wish it's help for you Best regards Max 2011/6/7 Alan Clark :

First, I am very happy to meet openSUSE guys in India ( GNOME.Asia 2011) ^___^

I upload some pictures at flickr  ( http://www.flickr.com/groups/opensuse/pool/page2/ ) I am sorry about I didn't write any report to you.  Orz............

At GNOME.Asia 2011, we use GNOME3 with openSUSE iso  ( http://www.gnome3.org/tryit.html ), and  isohybird command to create usb linux for people.

Just two simple steps.

Step 1: # isohybrid    xxxopenSUSExxx.iso

( isohybird command is include in syslinux package)

Step2:

# cat   xxxxopenSUSExxx.iso   >   /dev/sdx

( /dev/sdx is the usb device)

----------------------- May ----------------------------------

I teach my student openSUSE linux and use some open source application this year.

Max,  Thanks for the report!

When you teach Linux, can you give me an idea of the topics that you cover?

thanks,

Dear Alan: Yes, I teach them for freeware and openSUSE Linux with first grade of University. Our second grade of University learn Linux Administration. It's the same range like Novell Certificate Linux Administration. And some of them will go to register NCLA exam. ^__^ Best regards Max 2011/6/7 Alan Clark :
