Always there´s a problem with a computer in my family (they all using Windows, so they _are_ problems) they call me. Sometimes I came with a openSUSE 11.2 GNOME live-CD and saved somethings. But if I say, that Linux is the optimal OS, they just laugh at me and say, that Windows is much better (they don´t show any arguments pro Windows, they just say: no. I don´t wanna Linux).
To second: I know a school right here, that using Linux. First, the Heinrich-Böll-Gymnasium here, that uses Debian, and the Gymnasium zum Altenforst, that uses Linux for software-changes and administration stuff. So, I think open source is always there and the companies will understand..... But for education, we have edu-l-i-f-e, or not? confused kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendec...@hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador powered by openSUSE 11.3 KDE This mail was composed under Linux Have you tried SUSE Studio?
