o GNU/LINUX UTILITIES FOR EDUCATION... GLUE: Ajith Kumar
<ajith at nsc.ernet.in> deserves credit for his work on this front. Recently,
Ajith announced that his product -- the "GNU Linux Utilities for Education"
CD is now hosted at "ftp.seul.org". This is a bootable CD that will install
a GNU/Linux system with OpenOffice, several educational software packages
and the Terminal Server Software "within 10 minutes", as he puts it.  Ajith
needs help in testing. You can download the ISO image from
ftp://ftp.seul.org/pub/glue/ Bowse the contents of it at
ftp://ftp.seul.org/pub/glue/GLUE/index.html

Recently, Ajith was demoing the CD to the Press. Says he: "It takes only 10
minutes to setup the lab. Method is extreamly simple. Create a RedHat (or
any other) installation and all other required software. Make a tarball of
it. A bootable CD with a small script plants it to another computer. "Kudzu"
does a good job in detecting new hardware." Free Software campaigners in the
Southern State of Kerala are convinced that the local government is "wasting
their money" if they sign a MoU (memorandum of understanding) for costly
proprietorial software to be implemented in their IT at School Project.
