I did two three times and on the third try the pc never started again. Besides the computer is connected to the mains through a UPS, through a spike strip through a stabillizer.

[fsug-tvm] Re: GNU/Linux Syllabus and Meeting
+ 1 on using these books - http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sri/ssrvm/ The books are under the following creative commons license - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/byncsa/2.5/in/ Only 1st and 2nd standard books are available at the website. I flipped through book 1 and book 2 that is available on the site - they are quite nice and engaging. They are written with assumption the OS will be a flavor of Ubuntu with GCompris and Tux Paint installed. They teach the basics of what a computer is - the various parts, IO devices, etc. They also show how to use it to paint, play music, write using text editor. The coolest thing IMO is they healthy habits like proper sitting posture and the importance of moving away from the computer every once in awhile and some yoga exercises as well. They also show how to use the computer safely. The books are based on the ICSE syllabus and I think they will cover all of Std 1 - most of Std 2 and the text editor portion of Std 3 as specified in the wiki - http://gnulinux4cbse.pbwiki.com/. - Nikhil On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 6:28 PM, Vimal Joseph vimaljos...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, 2009-03-30 at 09:40 +0530, Prasad SR wrote: Earlier Christ nagar school enquired whether the community (ilug-tvm) can make a linux based curriculum for Std 1 to 8, that they would be running as a test from the next academic year onwards, for there CBSE, ISCE and state syllabus schools.

Hi, That was a really informative and well laid out post :) And yes.

Hi Yadu, On Apr 3, 9:49 am, Yadu Nand yadudoc1...@gmail.com wrote: That was a really informative and well laid out post :) Thanks for the compliment :). I was forced to write this up because he mentioned that reputation of Linux had taken a beating. That just makes our job of preaching FOSS a little harder. So I had to try to dispel some myths. The only way to win is to be competitive. Happy to see that you found it interesting. And yes. I never meant that ubuntu does damage by using default management options. I didn't imply that- I make it a point never to attack someone personally. I was just using your point to add some relevant details. Its just that the net has got lots of power management tweaks that just might turn out to be unhealthy.But it also turns out the tweaks are also labelled completely insane ! , experimental etc which is enough of a warning :) Thats interesting! (Completely insane?!! LOL!!). But that's exactly what I meant- the engineers should know what they are doing. The 'experimental' and 'insane' schemes are unlikely to make it to release builds, since any hardware damage will cause serious dent in reputation for the distro- even when it is not the distro's fault. That's why I added that I had no problems with them. Regards, Gokul Das --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.
