No one would really entertain you if you spell 'the' with 'da' (junks) and ask questions like this. Also, try to minimize the use of '' and '??', we have eyes to see single ? and , . And now, visit site http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy for your answers. What ever is provided there would be sufficient. Also try Google for your queries. -- Ravi Shanker Kumar [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] Creative Capitalism
Niyam, Very good thoughts. At present I want to just give my comments. I think Budhism needs to be studied more carefully than it is normally. I am not a Buddist but have some idea. The Kshanikwad and why there is misary in the world is very well explained in Buddism. Redistribution of wealth does not solve problem of poverty. It was done 4 times by a king of Tibet and wealth concentrated again due to system. It needs deep study of social, political and economic understanding and deeper understanding of the forces operating in a particular society and a solution thereof. thanks Regards: Prof. (Dr.)A.K.

Shall we opt for linux as it is freely down loadable as there is a feeling among people that anything that is free is not genuine (not as good as something that commands a high price)? Troll bait? Maybe. In any case, here's a haiku to enclue Samal: Free can be useless. Some perceive Linux as worse but it is better.
