Debian in my school ------------------- As a teacher of physics and chemistry (and marginally, computer science) in a French high school, I have to bring reliable applications and tools to my students. Even if Debian will finally spread the world, it has not yet pervaded the end-user computers which my students can access. An instant Debian environment ----------------------------- Here comes "[Jean Bart - Knoppix](ftp://usb.freeduc.org/freeduc-usb/freeduc-jbart/index.html "download the disk image ...")", the pocket Debian live thumbdrive, which allows my students to boot Debian's scientific environment in a single minute. In tight agreement with the employee who manages my school's computers, we let users boot the machines from external disks, like this particular thumbdrive. Experimenting the applications ------------------------------ Attendees of the workshop are welcome to ask for any use we might make of the live thumbdrives which will be demonstrated. I shall bring a few [Expeyes](http://expeyes.in/ "Let's have fun with science") boxes, and give an overview of scientific experiments which can be performed with such a frugal technology setup. More than one experiment may be fun!
