[Yr7-10it] Linux v XP

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Great idea Rob.. there are a few schools that have this kind of setup. 
Donald Hew from Vermont SC for one gave a fantastic demo of the Novell 
Desktop Dual Boot setup last year at a PCEDUG meeting. There is another 
user friendly Linux distribution that is worth exploring called Ubuntu 
that I am going to try out this time with a server boot setup. There is 
also have an Ubuntu version that students can boot from CDROM.
