[aclug-L] Idea and/or question.

["Isaias Izquierdo" <wakolito@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know that all the computer of the Computer Science Departament are 
Linux/Unix computers. However, the computer that are accesible for the 
normal people are not. All are Windows machine.

Sometimes I can't access to the Linux machines in the lab because all 
are busy. Instead I have to go to the Windows Machines over the first 
floor and use the bad telnet progrma they have. That's without 
mentioning that Those computer lock up all the time. The screen goes 
black just like that. I wonder why (Win98).

I wonder too why most of the normal people don't know anything about 
linux. Because unluckily Bill has dominated the market. We know that 
most of the computer over WSU are Windows machine (Library, and Labs) 
People study Windows, Office and Microsoft programs and live without 
knowing that there are better programs. Programs that won't die, 
programs like linux.

My idea is why if Linux is free the University don't have more computers 
with Linux on them so that people can start getting used to Linux and 
start learning more about. I don't asking for all the computer but at 
least at couple to start with and then see how it works. Somethig like a 
test. 

I hope that in a future not too long. All machines are going be Linux 
machine and I will forget what Mirco... means!
