Blender in the Classroom? YES!

harkyman.com � Blender in the Classroom

Check out the above link.  It's about Blender the 3D Animation program.
I see this as an area where Open Source can shine it's light. How many of us know of young people, maybe our own kids perhaps? Young minds that are vibrant with talent, but are snagging Non Open Source Tools in unsavory ways in order to learn how to manipulate graphics? Learning how to create with expensive proprietary tools? Learning the wrong way of doing things.

School Systems, that are strapped won't have to pay ANY licencing fees for the software.  They just need someone who can teach the programs...  Hmm.... 

- I like this idea.

Pinguy OS = out-of-the-box operating system for everyone.

So the previous post was about how to re-tweak Ubuntu into more into what you might want, and then there is Pinguy OS. Looks sweet.   I'm still keeping with my Linux Mint 9 LTS. But even I, an Ubuntu fan, am moving elsewhere from the default install.  That's one of the nice things, they're making a stable release over at Canonical, and we're free to tweak the software to our liking.  I'm not to sure how fond I will be of the Unity Desktop or the Gnome Shell desktops, but if I DON'T like them and others don't , I'm sure that XFCE,  LXDE and KDE will find more people moving over to them.  I think that it's too soon to tell, if the KDE changes are any hint of how long it takes for some of the desktops to find a mature and stable level, it might be a year before these other desktops mature enough. LXDE is still young also, so it'll be interesting to see what pans out over the long term. 

From their site:

"Pinguy OS an out-of-the-box working operating system for everyone, not just geeks.

This OS is for people that have never used Linux before or for people that just want an out-of-the-box working OS without doing all the tweaks and enhancements that everyone seems to do when installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu or other Linux based Distro's."

Sorta like Linux Mint. You've got a more usable system with a fresh install.. 

Ubuntu Start to Re-Tweak Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Ubuntu Start is a script which helps new users set up a few things most people do when they first install Ubuntu. For now the script is only for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.

Ubuntu Start in Launchpad

But there is a report that it'll work for 10.10 if you edit the script.  I've not tried either one, just letting people know that it's there, if they want it.

One Blog? Or Many? What works best?

I'm sitting here wondering, what works best? One Blog by one person, with all of the varied topics that person wishes to blog about, or a few blogs divided up into sections? - I'm beginning to think that one Main Blog might be best. OR one Blog, with the other sub-blogs divided up into sections due to interests?
