You know, TA, you really are a wonderful advert for Linux.
Such a shame that if I KF you I'll be going against everything that OSS stands for.
KF? MWUAET? (Must We Use Acronyms Each Time?) :) Sorry, it was a bit harsh.... One of things problems you have to realise is that there is a lack of qualified people to adequately teach school children. Most computer-based subjects in schools are centred around the use of MS-Office, why? Because it is supposedly easy. Children are not getting enough exposure to Linux, and it is a shame since Linux is up and coming FAST in the computing world -- some exposure to it would be a good thing for school children.
