I am not sure if you guys are aware of this or not but the e-mails that most of you send exceed the typical line wrap width for e-mails which almost always makes the last word of the line wrap onto the next line. Could you guys please do something about your e-mail programs and fix the line width.

In fact if you code your apps properly, you shud be able to use glut/open gl and get a completely cross platform app. And so you shudn't really require to use wine for opengl. Also opengl doesn't run very well on the hardware that most of the schools tend to have, u do need a graphics accelerator

I agree with Ambar here (whatever I can make out of that part of his post which is written in English ). If we're aiming to popularise Linux in schools, one (though not the only) argument we have to present is cost. If after installing Linux we say, `However you still need to purchase Turbo C (o
