Curiously the students have a first bad reaction against FreeBSD mainly= caused by the spartan desktop of our computer lab (IceWM + rox) that have = the things in other structure ;-). However, after few days they prefer to f= inish the practical works in these old but stable "such as rocks" machines = ;-). We have a practice class using image analysis of aerial photographs. T= he practice consist in determining fractals on each image and relate differ= ent mathematical parameters with landscape measures. The software can be in= stalled in Windows but many students have problems in their computers and p= refer to use the old machines (celeron with 500 MB RAM) of computer lab ;-)= Half of student are migrating to PC-BSD ;-)=20 > Good luck, > Kevin Zheng Thanks --=20 ******************************************************** Daniel Pat=F3n Dom=EDnguez Numerical Ecology.
