Hello,
Let's start with the sad fact, that most active Haifuxers are not Technion students. In particular, not undergraduate students. Which brings us to my first question: What is SSDL? What have you been running there until now? My initial response (others -- please speak up if you differ) is that we need to figure out what the real need is. We have run Welcome to Linux in the past, and installation parties as well, but as time goes by it looks more and more like there is no need to explain how to install the system, but rather how to tackle it once it's up. The existence of LiveCDs makes the whole installation issue much less frightening ("Hey, I ran Linux on my computer from a CD and I'm still alive"). Bottom line: In order to help, we need to know what the students need to carry out with Linux. What their needs are, and where they get stuck. Previous experience in the Technion with deploying Linux in a farm (hint, hint) gave me the impression that the students managed well with Linux, and so did the technical staff. I would also suggest having a look on these lectures abstracts, which were given in the past: http://www.haifux.org/lectures/152-sil http://www.haifux.org/lectures/153-sil1 http://www.haifux.org/lectures/162-sil http://www.haifux.org/lectures/179 http://www.haifux.org/lectures/191-sil Regards, Eli -- Web: http://www.billauer.co.il _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
