[GRLUG] Linux @ school.

[Szymon Machajewski]

I would like to appeal to the GRLUG list not to consult or assist in
questionable projects.

Linux and open source stand for upright, community driven productivity.
 I believe that learning/teaching about Linux should be not only about
the technical bits and bytes, but about the moral and legal behavior
which will keep future Linux users out of jail.

In that spirit I believe Jorge La's request should be handled with
caution.

At the same time Jorge La, welcome to our group, and please be assured
that you are in a company of responsible professionals who will help you
be successful with Linux.  Pending the definition of successful ... :)

I have a DSL box at home, but how do you add apps to it? I would like
to
have QEMU and a program that logs keystrokes (make the connections for
yourself  heh heh heh) and probally a nicer background :-/.
