I will not be manning the booth, but . . . I'm especially in favor of open source software that has clients for both Windows _and_ Linux. I'm trying to wean my family off of Microsoft software while they're still on Windows -- so that when they're ready to switch to Linux, all their familliar apps are already there.
OpenOffice.org is an excellent choice along these lines -- and probably very high on the utility scale for students. As is Mozilla. But I think that most students are going to be _heavy_ into multimedia (and a good multimedia client may be a better "attention grabber" than an office suite). This is why I inquired about MPlayer on the SSS discs. Dave >>> Michael Halcrow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/02/03 1:47 PM I basically suggest baiting them with OpenOffice, and then moving on to other Free Software as time or circumstances permit. Feel free to comment on it this time, especially if you will be manning a booth.
