You are trying to get back to the same vicious cycle
... back to square one.
There are just so many applications/tools you can use
on GNU/Linux to learn anything from desktop usage,
programming, system administration, network
administration. Your learning curve will be really
productive here.
I am wondering if it is really you, Toufeeq, who wrote
this or someone else using your e-mail account.
Seriously, consider the current state of IT in
India.
It is our duty to educate the masses, not, drench them
in the gutter and make them whine about heavy
licenses, BSODs, system crashes...
I would go with GNU/Linux environments for learning.
By starting to set up the systems, the students
themselves can learn about the environment. It could
be their first course!
