[glug-t] Re: General format of course - please change

Thats great. 

A small introduction to the others, some of group members have decided to
conduct a GNU/Linux workshop at RECT. Aashish sent me the following course
content. I guess they can add a little more.

Asish, you can add more to the help section - HOWTOs, Guides, Linux Gazette,
participating in mailing lists, usenet...

Put Gimp, and Dia together. Dia is an excellent vector drawing tool.

You could add more to the engineering tools section. 
Circuit Simulation - Oregano, gnucap, spice <- installed on silver
VHDL compiler - alliance <- installed on silver. Check out /usr/local/alliance
Octave - matlab replacement, but will people use it?

You could maintain a master document of the course content and keep upgrading it
as people give more suggestions.

By the way send a mail to glug_t@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subscribe as subject to
subscribe to the mailing list.
