Hi all,
If I guess correctly, the lecture is for students of the SSDL laboratory.
One of the main reasons I decided to place Linux in the lab is so that the
students, especially those in the Software Engineering track, are exposed
to an operating system in which all major, serious (not toy VBA)
The other side of the coin is that the purpose of the W2L from Haifux's
point of view is PR for Haifux itself, making the experience more enjoyable
to us all, by injecting new blood of speakers and listeners. Users who care
for the Windows experience are not likely to be any of those.

I am not sure what you mean by VirtualBox. So many messages are going on in

at the campus, asking me when the next

I love your idea of Live DOK. In fact, I was going to suggest something
