I do no have either the Tata Photon+ or the Reliance RConnect (IIRC) but I believe FOSSers have been able to use them successfully with their Linux desktops. Google search "linux tata photon" throws up quite a few helpful links. The setup may not be as straight forward as running "setup.exe" and YMMV with hardware/firmware version in the devices. -- Arun Khan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list linux-india-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
