To add to this, the live cd can be installed in the hard drive. So, if a windows developer grabs the C# debian development disk and checks that it's programs really work in debian, he will gradually change. We can make these cd's easilly available ( thanks to the live project people ) because they can be built with a list of packages. One we have some development meta-packages, we can make these cd's with tasksel's desktop task + devel metapackages. So i can go to my "industrial informatics" teacher a show him that he can develop visual basic applications in linux. > > -- > KiyuKo <eof AT kiyuko DOT org> > Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
