    PETALING JAYA [MALAYSIA]: Senior citizens from a community group in SS3
    here have greatly impressed their trainer Colin Charles by quickly
    learning how to install and configure the Linux Red Hat 8.0 operating
    system. 

    "On the first day, some of these senior citizens - in their 60s and 70s
    - didn't even know how to switch on a computer," he said after hosting
    a three-day "Open Source Software Workshop" at the Cosmopoint Corporate
    Training Centre here earlier this month. 

    "But they soon learned to install Linux Red Hat 8.0 all by themselves,
    and stayed the whole course," [...]

    The workshop, which cost RM50 per attendee, was organised by the
    Malaysian National Computer Confederation's Open Source Special
    Interest Group (MNCC-OSSIG); for more info, go to
