that is why I am qualified to talk about the advantages (for me and my
family) of using fedora over Ubuntu. I have used it for years, and still
spend a lot of time using it in helping my students to debug their
problems (many of them have ubuntu). Most people who rave about ubuntu
have no experience of other distros and are not qualified to compare.

 What's the fun in it? Open source means contribution irrespective of how

 fun has many connotations the one i meant was being happy doing it , not
 something like making  fun out of someones effort .



   but again there is a cost to you and your company
 maintaining the Distro , which must be factored in somewhere  before you
 start opening  things up.

 There is cost involved in whatever you start. Running these mailing
 lists cost but someone is paying for this right. Even getting education
 costs.


 again wanted to point at the  budgeting for the resources and the effort it
 will take to maintain.



 Guys, please reply as I am looking for people to join me to work on
 this.
 Niam Computech is the first company in India to take such an initiative
 and
 we are 100% self-bootstrapped (as of now).


 hmm i have doubts about your claims,  i think companies like Esys and
 many
 more tried this before , first rule in a community engagement never claim
 i/we are so and so .. it does not matter who you are or what we you do  ,

 Please advise what can be used than we and I?


 be yourself you be just fine


 your product and services  will speak about you  , also looking at the
 development of the ecosystem it will happen once you have the critical
 mass.

 Obviously.


 its is so obvious but people tend to forget and get focus on the paraphernalia
 so much that they miss the point , if you are aware and focussed on this
 part good for you.



 there are many other critical things to the game some time later.

 i suggest you read this article
 http://jace.zaiki.in/2012/06/26/technology-outsource-vs-open-source  to
 begin with.

 Everyone has different pathway to get to wherever they want to go. I
 liked the article but I don't understand how is it related to Ubuntu and
 PCs. Hasgeek guys are great. If it is community (we) but was started by
 one guy (I). I hope you get my point.

Hi I am not here to fight. We all are biased to something what we like 
or dislike. I just said few good words about Ubuntu. Isn't Ubuntu a 
Linux distro? Did I criticize other Linux distros? I don't understand 
how come I have antagonized a good part of LUG community. Please explain?

I would have appreciated ILUGC if guys would have come forward asking 
that if Niam PCs can support Fedora or Mandriva or Gentoo or Mint etc 
rather than fighting over if someone is biased towards Ubuntu. Is it a

Speak for yourself. Why should anyone get antagonised that someone is offering

certainly not. But it is not very nice to say it is the best, most
popular distro with the best support and community.
 
 @Kenneth - Which distro you use often? And why? 

fedora - it has the latest libraries for my type programming which
ubuntu does not have. Wife and kids also like it as the distro treats
them well (all of us had our honeymoon with ubuntu and got fed up).

[Ilugc] Ubuntu powered Laptops and Desktops

Hi Chennai Linux members,

We have launched Ubuntu powered Laptops, Desktops at affordable rates for
Indian consumers. These product models will be running on customized fork
of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which will be more stable and will have some of our own
featured applications.

The products will be available during 3rd quarter of 2012 tentatively
before Diwali Festival.

Requirement - We are looking for software developers, customer support
execs, hardware engineers to support us. If interested please reply.

I am more inclined towards developing an open community, and we will be
supporting only Ubuntu OS.

  also there is fun in making a custom distro and especially making it work
  on your own hardware,

 What's the fun in it? Open source means contribution irrespective of how
 you can.


fun has many connotations the one i meant was being happy doing it , not
something like making  fun out of someones effort .



  but again there is a cost to you and your company
  maintaining the Distro , which must be factored in somewhere  before you
  start opening  things up.

 There is cost involved in whatever you start. Running these mailing
 lists cost but someone is paying for this right. Even getting education
 costs.


again wanted to point at the  budgeting for the resources and the effort it
will take to maintain.



  Guys, please reply as I am looking for people to join me to work on
 this.
  Niam Computech is the first company in India to take such an initiative
 and
  we are 100% self-bootstrapped (as of now).
 
 
  hmm i have doubts about your claims,  i think companies like Esys and
 many
  more tried this before , first rule in a community engagement never claim
  i/we are so and so .. it does not matter who you are or what we you do  ,

 Please advise what can be used than we and I?


be yourself you be just fine


  your product and services  will speak about you  , also looking at the
  development of the ecosystem it will happen once you have the critical
 mass.

 Obviously.


its is so obvious but people tend to forget and get focus on the paraphernalia
so much that they miss the point , if you are aware and focussed on this
part good for you.


 
  there are many other critical things to the game some time later.
 
  i suggest you read this article
  http://jace.zaiki.in/2012/06/26/technology-outsource-vs-open-source  to
  begin with.
 
 Everyone has different pathway to get to wherever they want to go. I
 liked the article but I don't understand how is it related to Ubuntu and
 PCs. Hasgeek guys are great. If it is community (we) but was started by
 one guy (I). I hope you get my point.


well the point is not who it is what , will wait and watch .
