I don't think even the teachers can be as creative as the students and certainly they can't learn as fast. That's y I though it would be better to teach some interested students and let them run their own help sessions.<BR/><BR/>Surfing porn: It would be ideal if we could somehow write a code that would restrict them from surfing porn. I would however hope that they are able to hack the program and get thru watever firewall we set. Either way, it would make it a challenge for them so that they can't get things that easily ho ho ho.<BR/><BR/>I really don't think linux is too unfriendly to beginners so long as they know some basic functions(more like msdos). the desktop interface is as easy to use(or possibly easier) than windows in terms of accessing programs, honest.Wilson J Q Quahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805548477600970732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993185.post-31103135545142723582007-04-19T20:38:00.000+01:002007-04-19T20:38:00.000+01:00I can imagine most students will use it to surf po...I can imagine most students will use it to surf porn, social networking sites and whatnot.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, when you first install them in their computer labs, you might need to teach the teachers 1st how to use Linux & also the students, and you know how unfriendly it can be to a beginner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993185.post-64944706917330856932007-04-19T12:58:00.000+01:002007-04-19T12:58:00.000+01:00im from smk bandar utama damansara 4. if you know ...im from smk bandar utama damansara 4. if you know where's that.

Meaning it would be a bunch of interested students (possibly computer club) that are responsible to learn, teach and maintain the computers. It's a good way to train them to handle responsibility. Hope that answers your questions.Wilson J Q Quahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805548477600970732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993185.post-8519463188823045302007-04-19T02:43:00.000+01:002007-04-19T02:43:00.000+01:00I think I am able to hook up with some e-waste dis...I think I am able to hook up with some e-waste disposal companies to have them supply or I could personally go from companies to companies to appeal to them. It wuld look good for the companies anyway in terms of corporate social responsibility.<BR/><BR/>As for the financial gain part, I intend to probably sell ready made computers at really low price just to break even.
