Well Mr. Kumaran, Nice Review
I am a Teaching Computer Science for the past 15 years for the Hr. Sec.
Students.
Kindly consider the following
# The custom distro should "attract" the students
# Unless there is a "syllabus" and "exam" in the school curriculum ,
students will not learn from LINUX
# 95% of the students are only "computer users" not "learner"
# You can not eradicate MS from student's domain
More to come...
Thiagu

Hi ILUGC!
IMHO, I think it would have been better for ELCOT to have skipped
Windows and instead put that money into a WiFi chipset. The
educational apps on BOSS Linux seem much lesser than the ones in
Windows. I think that GNOME 2.3 could have looked a lot better. Or,
they should have used Ubuntu LTS/ Linux Mint. Anyway, now that it is
being rolled out, I guess it would be good for us if we start online
spoken tutorials on how to use BOSS instead of Windows.
I am planning on making a custom distro based on Edubuntu LTS
(12.04) or something similar, for installation on this laptop. Any
ideas?
What about a 1-day class for this, wherever it gets distributed?
With regards,
~~Kumaran R
