As I told you during “Fundamentals of Computers Workshop” that these are “those” Fundamentals which we Indian IT people may not know or may not understand and still pretend to deserve our degrees and jobs and salaries. That is why we are being called as “Cheap Unskilled Liar Labors”, and that is how “CANCER SPREADS”.

———————————————————————————————————-

Over the course of the two-day seminar, there will be a practical demonstration of installation of 8 Operating Systems on a single computer : 6 for Native Installation + 2 for Virtual Machine Installation (VirtualBox).

Which operating systems will be installed and why particularly those operating systems have been chosen will be disclosed in the seminar itself, as it is a part of the seminar content.

At the end of workshop, there will be DEMOS of my Multi-OS laptop and applications:
[Few attend this workshop again-and-again just to see this.]

A] Rarely seen OSs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which are “unthinkable” for many people to have on laptop:

01) MS-DOS 6.22

02) Windows 3.1

03) SCO UnixWare (The actual PC UNIX)

04) Novel Netware

05) Full featured Mac OS X without Mac

*What it is NOT about:
=================
– Network Installation/Administration (PXE Boot) :
Topic of a separate workshop.

– Post-OS Troubleshooting:
So many troubles are there and you cannot make everybody happy at all times.
Although some vital tips are given in workshop.

Usually Laptop is much expensive and bought by parents’ money.
