Alternative Unix Software Installation Methods

“In one of my education classes this trimester we are getting to
play with wonderful pieces of technology called “SMART Boards”
Essentially a SMART board is an interactive white board, they are
typically used in classrooms or occasionally in business meetings
(if you have never played with one before I highly recommend you
check them out, very fun). At any rate – we all know that hardware
is fairly useless without good software to make it function
properly.

“My teacher informed us the first day of class that the school
would provide us with copies of the SMART software so we would have
a chance to learn to use the SMART board fully. I’m been using
Linux for some time now and I’m going to be honest, when I heard
this I thought to myself “Well there is one more thing I’ll have to
run through Crossover or boot up the VM to use.”

“What can I say: I’m a cynic at heart.”
