If there are budget constraints then they must drop Windows in favor of Linux. Laptop without WiFi is a stupid idea. If Microsoft insists that Windows must be the first OS to boot instead of giving a GRUB like menu then it must be dumped for its monopolistic trade practice. If some one badly wants windows then they will also know how much it costs, where to get it cheap and how to install it. I think we must seek the help of communist Party of India to lobby the TN government in this regard. -- Thanks and Regards, Senthil http://twitter.com/senthiln _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
