All is well in Linux Land!

Good thing the group at ACSAT have already prepared an RH8 Box. A good number of students did attend and found out that most of the participants have no experience with Linux, but have heard all about it. Some though have attended Martin Acupanda's Linux install using Mandrake.

Good thing about it is that the seminar, part of their OS2 subject, was encouraged by their instructor who himself is a Linux fan, who in turn told me that ACSAT has plans of shifting to Linux. I also invited him to the March 18 meeting and encouraged him to organized their own school-based LUG, which he said he will. Luckily also, my Ubuntu CDs came through the mail a day before so was able to distribute some copies.

Well, generally the talk focused on three things about Red Hat Linux:

Red Hat's business model
RH's Linux as compared to proprietary software (OS and apps)
The economy of Open Source solutions

But everything is not all about RH. I also included the comparison of RH and other distros particularly Ubuntu. Where to get support and downloads and how to start using Linux. Here, Ubuntu's Live CD is particularly helpful.

By the request I have with more CDs, tells me the level of interest the students have.

May the source be with you!
