Linux, Laptops, and Projectors...Oh, My!
posted by Chip Witt
The time has come 'round once again where I will be regularly presenting information to hungry graduate students. This last Saturday marked the beginning of my second year teaching a business technology course in Dominican University of California's MBA Strategic Leadership Program, and the fourth year teaching in their Business Programs overall.
Last year I touted the benefits and usefulness of Linux in a business environment, but was not using Linux (or any other OpenSource programs) to present my slides in class. Instead, like so many others, I found it easiest to use my PowerBook running OS X, or to boot into the Windows partition of my PC laptop so that I could connect to a projector with very little fuss. I felt so much shame in leading this poor example that I set out to take corrective measures for this year's class. The following entry chronicles my trip down an interesting, but (still) bumpy road with the "modern" Linux, a laptop, and the configuration for using LCD projectors.

"Each blog is like a fireplace, and each post is like a log heaved on top to keep the fire burning. Every post has its own ¨permalink¨, so others can point directly to it. As long as a blog puts out heat and light, others who care about the author's subject are drawn to it. So are Google and other search engines, which sift constantly through the ashes".
