Topics that may be interesting to discuss include: - Distribution policies - Development policies - Money exchange policies - Attributions - Bundling - RPC/SOAP/equivalents - Patent provisions - Web service licensing Good ideas. This may not fall under the realm of Licences as in above. Please include if you think it appropriate. - [Add your own] - Public Portals (developed using open standards) Govt. and PSU portals are being developed by companies like TCS and such. Some of these sites are begining to enforce authentication with Digital Signatures (usb dongle). They are using some MS proprietary technology that works only with WinXP and IE. This is tantamount to the Govt. and PSUs endorsing a proprietary product and forcing it's citizens to either buy a legit. Windows lic. or resort to piracy and break the law. Orgs. who work with Govt./PSU portals have raised this issue but with a Linux desktop we cannot download/upload tenders (or whatever). I am not conversant with the underlying technology. However, I am confident that the above can be done using open standards, thereby not forcing the citizens and organizations to purchase a Windows XP lic. For starters, there should be a DIT (or an approp. Govt. body) policy that requires every vendor, developing a portal that interarcts with public at large, to use open standards and ensures that it works across all the desktops, not just MS Windows. -- Arun Khan ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] distro name using lsb_release
Hi All, How can I have a generic way of knowing the name version of a distro? As my work area is SLES RHEL, I thought of using */etc/issue (*or */etc/ issue.net) *or */etc/redhat-release *or */etc/SuSE-release * Another way is, using* *the command* lsb_release -d ,* which works even on Hardy*. *As I liked it more, so, my query changes to: Can I assume lsb_release to be there on every Linux distro ? I assume because LSB means Linux Standard Base and their web site says *Currently all major distributions comply with the LSB ...* ( http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/LSB) and have another link to https://www.linuxfoundation.org/lsb-cert/productdir.php?by_lsb Seeking inputs.
