Re: Install.* question

[Brandon Crowley <blcrowle@xxxxxxx>]

Hmmm... that's a difficult question actually.  I guess I would try to run whatever program it is in wine or in a vm to show them whether or not it would work, assuming it is freely accessible through the school.  For all my jokes I wouldn't want them to actually make a bad switch and hate Linux for it.  So we could maybe try to have a machine up to just run class required programs to try to show which ones work and which don't?

I will have to miss the meetings for the next couple of weeks
as I will be on travel,  but I will be tracking things on the Wiki :)

A possible topic for discussion:

I know the talks at the install-a-thing all indirectly address
the following issue, but what would we say to directly
address the statement:

I would run linux, but I have to use this machine to do my homework.
Therefore, I can't.
