Linux/Unix in the classroom

[Hewitt Tech]

Jerry, is there a reason why you and the other instructors couldn't use
Knoppix to teach your courses? You need to be able to boot off the CD-ROM
but once the system is booted, the system is faster to some extent because
it's mostly memory resident. Students could save their work to the floppy
drive. One nice thing about Knoppix is that the distro has practically
everything you could want on the CD. For example if you want to use the
Apache web server, you just start it up in the usual way and everything
necessary is on the CD. All file writing is done to the virtual disk and the
system probably needs a reasonable amount of RAM to work well.
