/** +1 to this. Creating a distribution is possibly a learning experience
in terms of package management, etc, but it would be far more useful
to learn to write and maintain software/applications. At the
beginner's level, a new package management system is a bit challenging
because lots of advanced concepts about security come into play.

I agree.. my core point is to establish knowledge pockets on all these
skills.. whether package management, or application development or kernel
coding. whatever may be, we need to focus on how to establish and sustain
that skill set..
Another attempt i made was, after introducing them MySQL, i showed them how
to connect to mysql from VB (which they already learned).. this way, the
dependance on Access and mSQL server could be reduced..
Then we have gambas similar to VB, and MonoDevelop/Sharpdevelop similar to
.NET ..
So even in application development, the present state is NIL..
