[ale] Linux Evangelism

[Robert Coggins]

All,

I just thought I would share this neat story with you all.  My dad is a 
teacher and I would consider alightly above average with computers.  He 
has never used anything but MS.  I kept talking to him about linux and 
finally I was able to show him something on a knoppix 3.7 CD.  At that 
time he was having trouble with his windows install.   I showed him how 
he can use that CD to go in an recover files.  I then showed him some of 
the programs on there such as open office and kstars. 

He is a middle school science teacher and ended up using knoppix to 
teach class using kstars.  He showed his principal and others this and 
they all ohhed and ahhed.  He is also in a master's program.  They are 
having some special technology class/presentations.  He is going to use 
knoppix in his presentation and use openoffice for the presentation.  I 
thought this was great and thought of you all when he told me about all 
of this!
