My son is interested in a certificate in "Internet and Webpages" from Southern Institute of Technology (a distance-learning course). They say students will need:
PC with Internet connection, Microsoft Office version 2003 or 2007 (including Outlook, Word, FrontPage), Adobe Reader, Winzip, printer and paper. Obviously this list displays a certain software bias. Is anyone familiar with this course? Is there any reason one could not complete it with FOSS software? I would be very surprised if Evolution, OpenOffice, Evince, and Zip caused any problems, but I don't know anything about FrontPage. Can it do anything nVu can't? Is nVu the best FOSS alternative? --mag ********************************************************************** This electronic message together with any attachments is confidential.
