Yes Sebastian, I'm an exec at ICTSA, and I agree it would be a great
idea to hand out to students. Most first years, for example, would be
buying new laptops, and I'm sure there will be people who would be eager
to start using Linux. It would be good even for older students who have
to use Linux for some of their assignments and such. Having everything
preinstalled would make it easy to install and use, especially for those
who are beginners in the field as well as more experienced users who are
lazy :P

Regarding what Anton mentioned, the idea of having a Student's Distro
would be great. I've read somewhere once that a tool exists that
easily repackages a custom version of Ubuntu. Something like that
could be great as it would combine the convenience of having a distro
ready to install with all the "complicated" compilers and interpreters
and IDEs preinstalled (perhaps it could even be a live cd) together
with something that can help encourage students to use OSS software.
I think having a CD like that would be something great for ICTSA to
give out during Freshers week at Uni. Pass by the stand and get your
fee copy of Ubuntu with all the software you will need for your
assignments preinstalled. I believe your are involved with ICTSA right
Gianluca?
Oh and btw, has anybody been keeping note of the ideas that have been
mentioned over the past few days?
