Hi Dos_Box,

 

I just started the thread because i had a lot of links in my bookmarks about education and i thought it a good idea to post em so everybody could benefit and after that whenever i read an article related to education i put it up in the same thread, I started this in a linux forum and was asked to submit here!!by a member , there might be some repetitions and/or dead links , feel free to trim ,del, modify them

Maybe we can add this all to a page on the wiki and link to it on this thread makes more sense..

If there's dead links, why are you posting them?
