You really wouldn't want to get them using Linux. They might begin thinking about HOW a computer works. No... We cannot have that! The majority of our installations are desktop users in offices. They moan about having to work on Lun-ix because it's diffrn't. I had someone ring me up, very upset just before Christmas, because the computer "just keeps working" and how are they supposed to dodge work if they can't blame it on the computer. I tried (very hard) to keep a serious tone, whilst listening to them explaining to me that their 3 month old new home machine had to be replaced because it's broken... every time they access the internet it pops up little windows and offers them porn, so they went out and bought a brand new windows machine... They were upset because their work machine just works, and so they cannot take a break because it's broken. Thomas Dyer Xdevelopment llp. On Fri, 7 Jan 2005, linuxgirlie wrote:
We will be shortly, by the end of the year. First we are going to do a laptop trial with the staff.
The students are begging for Linux, so we can't put it off for much longer!!
