[ilugd] BOSS Linux by C-DAC?
Dear all, I remember a few years ago LFY magazine distributing the government initiative, BOSS Linux, with its copies. What is the status of BOSS today? Is it the Red Flag of India, yet? Also, i heard a lot of community-folk murmering about how free is free in BOSS, and about it's indic support. All i get from the site is that it's based on debian. regards niyam -- niyam bhushan ___ 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] [OT] Quote Unquote
Quote Unquote... Q: What makes you believe Linux will continue to gain momentum? A: I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It's the right way to do things. I compare it to science vs. witchcraft. In science, the whole system builds on people looking at other people's results and building on top of them. In witchcraft, somebody had a small secret and guarded it -- but never allowed others to really understand it and build on it. Traditional software is like witchcraft. In history, witchcraft just died out. The same will happen in software. When problems get serious enough, you can't have one person or one company guarding their secrets. You have to have everybody share in knowledge. --- Linus Torvalds Source: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/aug2004/tc20040818_1593.htm See the Web#39;s breaking stories, chosen by people like you.

Re: [ilugd] :Evolving talents
Hi..Baddi is in Himachal Pradesh... I know lots off stuff about linux and Solaris due to Sun's campus ambassador program in our clg. But ur links will be helpfull, thanks. But the real problem is of getting started and just breaking the surface, coz many students just dont know definition of software. I have around 200 students in this group with very uneven intellect as on one hand there are students i talked about and on the other hand some are just brillant programs but acute knowledge. So class becomes pretty boring sometime for these students. I wonder if movies like Hackers3, Pyrates of silicon valley could makes things rolling and hepl them understand better. My friend at MIT suggested this idea but i wonder if that could work here coz english is another problem with rural areas.
