Re: [Ilugc] [ILuG-C] Microsoft Office on Linux
things from the perspective of a long time MS office user and you'll understand what I mean. This reason is quite simple. Things purchased by paying or stolen for personal us Thats the way it is. To release your software with Linux you need to release the source code. That is how the agreement is structured. That is the reason that every Linux is open source.

Ok, wrong terminology, 'normal user' is not the word that I intended. What I meant was people who use Windows just to use MS Office. And the cost of MS office that most of my friends use is about Rs. 50 (inclusive of the cost of CD and CD burning charges ;) For serious users who do not want to pirate, like companies and enterprises, the prices don't seem to matter much. Even for Linux, they'll be willing to spend about the same amount to BUY MS office for Linux. I can't speak for myself because I am, and have been a Linux user for a few years now and I've been quite comfortable using FOSS applications. Believe me when I say, it's a myth that people go for FOSS because it's 'free of cost'. Most people I know, are using Linux for it's obvious technical advantages, some for the freedom and the rest for pure fun. The few that are running MS Windows are refusing to switch to Linux because of two reasons, GAMES and MS Office. I can show them cool games for Linux like 0AD, etc. But if it so happens that MS office is available for Linux as well, I'm positive there'll be atleast a few hundred machines switching to Linux in my home town. You can simply not speak about software freedom and philosophies of free software to them.

Re: [Ilugc] Synaptic manager doesn't open
Hi Try installing software through shell. If that too fails then check out the file at /etc/apt/sources.list. This file might not be updated.
