It has been a terrible and shocking loss to all of us. Like many on the list, I received his guidance on numerous occasions which changed my IT software vision for ever. Way back in 1995, I was struggling with my first slackware install, but for Raj, my network card would have never come up and my linux journey would'nt have begun.
I recall my earliest association with him on "dontpanic", Raj's Linux based BBS [the only BBS which provided linux shell access!!]. The hostname Raj chose for his BBS, clearly indicated his passionate personality. Clearly, dont remember Raj in panic any time, ever so cool and with sharp wits, sparking ideas would emerge !! His firm convictions on Free and Open Source, passionate and convincing words, resonate very often in my own work. I am sure, his work has triggered many a top notch FOSS entrepreneurs, and in that sense, his work continues. My deepest condolences and prayers to the Almighty to help his family bear the grave irreparable loss. anand _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
