><i> Selecting an "Education based" install (which could be used with other
</I>><i> software selections is what I had in mind.
</I>><i> This could be called the "Education software group" (for want of a
</I>><i> better name).
</I>><i> Like that you don't need a special "Education" version, it's the same
</I>><i> DVD for everyone.
</I>><i> Of course, the necessary education software has to be on the DVD.
</I>><i> An excellent way to promote Mageia.
</I>><i> In fact, using a common DVD, students could take a copy home, and
</I>><i> install as well, the "young family" and/or "home office" software
</I>><i> groups. (Which would necessarily overlap to some extent.)
</I>
That would work nicely. There is really no need for separate CD's seeing
that many of the software packages would be complementary from one type
of install to the next.
>><i>
</I>>><i> The only problem that I would see in doing such a promotion is that
</I>>><i> this type of usage would require a server/client solution. This is
</I>>><i> where the choice of server partnership would become important. RehHat
</I>>><i> and Suse are well-known servers options in the business world. We
</I>>><i> could then partner up with them and make sure that Mageia/RedHat or
</I>>><i> Mageia/Suse solutions are rock solid. Unless we seek a partnership
</I>>><i> with MandrivaLinux server, but in North American markets, Mandriva is
</I>>><i> really not a force to contend with and is not really known.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Marc
</I>><i> Since we're in Canada, Mageia/RedHat and Mageia/Suse make sense due to
</I>><i> the greater North American presence, but Mandriva server is a major
</I>><i> player in the European and South American markets.
</I>><i> The advantage of using Mandriva server in Canada is English/French in
</I>><i> the education system in every province.
</I>><i> Like I've already said elsewhere, I'd like to see some accommodation
</I>><i> with Mandriva for the commercial/server side.
</I>><i> In any case, we could always offer a choice of servers. RedHat, Suse,
</I>><i> and Mandriva all use compatible RPM packaging.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> André (andre999)
</I>><i>
</I>
Yes, so I guess if there were different options of installations it
would be a good start.
