I think it is necessary to innovate here. One idea is to hardware lock (say via a custom BIOS ??) the system into a single supported distro of Linux. They would have to carry the unit to a service centre to unlock it and install anything else - at which point they have to provide their student ID. Such checks are needed to maximize benefits of tax payer money. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
