You guys give me an idea. Has anyone a supply of official looking Ubuntu disks? You know, not the obviously burned onto a cdr type? Just thinking if the LUG could stage an Ubuntu day at the college (South Devon College). They had demo tastings of Ubuntu Cola today and that + this conversation made me think it might be possible to talk to the Student Liason team who usually arrange these kinda things. The reason I mention official looking disks is, given the ignorance shown by computer services, i suspect they will see cdrs and assume piracy. Issues: Would need to be in the week daytime to hit the largest number of students. Would need people who could interest the kiddies, with a couple of laptops to demo it with. All those Expensive disks we might end up giving out. If we want Wifi someone would need to negotiate access to the open Wifi whitelist since Linux wont run the Cisco Clean Agent they use to ensure Windows is 100% up to date, AV'd and patched. Pro: Showing the kiddies that Windows is not the one true path, plus maybe a bit of 'try this in your laptop, see for yourself...' Thoughts? I offer my services as woman on the spot to talk to college and see what the issues are on their side. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
