Hi..Baddi is in Himachal Pradesh... I know lots off stuff about linux and Solaris due to Sun's campus ambassador program in our clg. But ur links will be helpfull, thanks. But the real problem is of getting started and just breaking the surface, coz many students just dont know definition of software. I have around 200 students in this group with very uneven intellect as on one hand there are students i talked about and on the other hand some are just brillant programs but acute knowledge. So class becomes pretty boring sometime for these students. I wonder if movies like Hackers3, Pyrates of silicon valley could makes things rolling and hepl them understand better. My friend at MIT suggested this idea but i wonder if that could work here coz english is another problem with rural areas.
