Re: Help: Developing Free Debian Trainings
I believe this is an excellent idea. I'm new to Debian - and, even though I'm encountering difficulty, the social aspect of the Project is certainly a saving grace. I'd like to suggest a focus of this training - laptops. Laptop users, as I've read and experienced, face a steeper learning curve because of the specialty hardware requirements.
Regards,
Sebastian
