[SLUG] Linmodem installation help??

Hi I'm new to Linux (two weeks) - I've managed to install RedHat,  PHP, staroffice and a few other things.  However I choked on installing a LT LinModem.  The instructions are below but they assume a bit too much. 1. Where should I unpack the package too? 2. I have RedHat 7 - how do I know what k

RE: [SLUG] Computer Literacy in Schools

Yeah flow charts and algorithms are great if you want to be a coder but what about the rest of us who cant code to save themselves but would have liked to have learned a few more practical skills at school? I did computing and got nothing out of it.. -Original Message- From: Dean Ham

RE: [SLUG] Computer Literacy in Schools

Re: [SLUG] Computer Literacy in Schools

year 11-12 is about getting into uni upto year 10 is about having basic skills and knowledge. so no, not really. computing studies was a course designed to not change and much omcputing theory doesnt. flow control is still flow control, be it on an athlon, alpha or atari (that was kinda cool).
