You're right about it being a Marmite moment. I've tried with Unity for
some time, and just couldn't get it to 'take' with me. Nevertheless, I'm
happy to teach it to my students.

I've taught adults for a long time (30 years) and there's a good rule:
start from where they're already at. So find out as much as you can
about what they already potentially know, and also what they'd like to
be able to do. Then plan to at least deal with the aspirations that are

Hi!
Just a quick bit of news...
I teach in adult education in North Tyneside, and last year I managed to
talk my manager round to the idea of putting on a beginners course in
Ubuntu within the borough. It means spending scarce funding on what is a
fairly 'off the beam' topic, when the usual

I wonder if someone can come up with a solution to a little problem? In
the 'bad old days' when I used Windows there was a little program called
'Rapid Backup' that I used to monitor my My Documents folder on a

Thanks for that suggestion, as it made the rsync command line easy to

I would be very surprised if this is not a problem with graphics card

You can say that again! The biggest problem I have is to try to get
