Re: Nicholas Negroponte challenges: Give us lightweight Linux



Hi,

just some short remarks:

enlightenment! Rhe coming release 17 seems to be very nice.

The problem with other desktop solutions than KDE or GNOME is: you
cannot put icons on the desktop which is kind of standard since Windows95.

   of Konqueror as a file-browser and possible replacement for FireFox
   as a web-browser
Krusader!


-- Look at Koffice as a replacement for OpenOffice.org (this is meant
   for kids, and they do not really need a fully fletched office suite
   when they uses computers for learning. Then browser applications
   with teaching tools are the thing to use e.g Moodle and
   http://mathforum.org/mathtools/cell/a,ALL,ALL,ALL/)

KOffice won't run on Windows machines, will it? Has anyone tried this
with CygWin? The charme in using OOo is: the pupils can use it at home, too.

Thank you for your initiative. I think it's worth thinking over it.

Yours
