Sorry. I stand corrected. I am quite aware of ELCOT's, and Umashankar's support for FLOSS. I was responding to what seemed to be the thrust of the message, that is, some government department gave Linux laptops to everyone without providing for training and support. I guess that the expectation in such cases is that the community will automatically step in, and provide these for free. I do take back what I said about ELCOT.
