- Already being done. At Siena College where I go we have talked our OpSys
- prof into ordering a 486 with 120 megs of disk space so we can put Linux on
- it. After installing SLS and letting him get a feel for it, I'll probably
- offer to port all his current software for OpSys lab over to Linux, in return
- for independent study credit over the summer. And, of course, since he thinks
- I'm such a cool guy, he'll be very much into the idea.
-
- Provided he likes Linux when we install it. The machine is still in the
- mail. But mark my words, it will arrive. I'm sure if everything works out
- and there is a room full of OpSys students using Linux next year I'll post
- a big success story message here about it.
