A clear, well-thought out and useful post. Kudos to Sebin. I too would suggest that you put your efforts into developing things for an existing distro. Your BTech project is too valuable an experience to be wasted. Trust me that with the right project, many doors will open for you. Sadly most undergrads waste their time and in some cases do illegal things like: download some free software, relabel it and present as their project. Feel free to contact me, if you want to develop something for Pardus. Regards Rajeev J Sebastian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
