well what u r talking abt is wud be users of Linux system and what i am
talking abt is wud
be programmers...n another thing is that linux comes with a lotsa user
friendly tools
just the point that i wanted to emphasise upon is that we shud not make them
dependant upon what
Micro$oft has made us depend upon ...
Drop them in a spool and they shall learn to swim ;)

Subject: Re: [ilugd]: Linux for Schools
Although I respect your view point I seriously do not think that making a
school kid learn vi and emacs would do any good deal to Linux.they will
learn vi amd emacs anyway once they get interested in linux. the first point
is to get them into linux, and i do not think first impression of tools like
vi on a school kid would be good coz they are too complex for a starter.
linux lacks user friendly stuff and Linux for schools should target
that.everything should be user friendly weather it is Linux for school or
industry in my opinion, and I think I am not asking for too much am i?
