In fact it can also help institutions like schools and colleges who want their students to access only limited amount of content which could be already present on their servers. Not having enough bandwidth or speed of our so called broadband connections will be detrimental only to plans of using content right from the internet but then how many work are we doing like this anyways and by the time such functionality reaches to the masses you will be having uncapped connection with good bandwidth (at least I hope so) :) Regards, Abhay ___ 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/

Buying an assembled PC for about 10k, which would be much more flexible and powerful than a thin client, and then spending maybe a 1000 bucks on networking. pffft, expense isn't the problem here. If you can buy an assembled PC for 10K then have you ever thought how much a thin client with not that much of hardware would cost? Also individual PCs might be more flexible, but they also need maintenance and management, which in turn costs money. So yes expenses is a problem here no matter how many pffft's you do. BTW if money is not the problem here and then what is? Why don't more SOHO's use more PCs. Don't tell me they don't need them. What kind of marketing are we talking about here anyway? TV ads exhorting people to go buy google pcs? I mean, having nirodh ads on TV is one thing, and asking people to buy thin clients just because google's made them is something else... Looks like you have a very selective liking for advertisements. Never saw computer related ads eh? :) Whoa whoa. Hang on there a minute. HELP? I'm not sure how old you are, but do you even know the sorry state of affairs in colleges and schools in the country? Not only will they not allow their students to experiment with computers, they will impose severe penalties on those who have the temerity to do so. Talk about open source and the hacking paradigm. You think MIT would be the mecca for hackers if they'd left their PDPs and other machines to the technicians, who had the power to expel people for displaying an interest in computers? Well don't know which school you want to go where they will allow people to screw with their systems. No one would allow it. In school we used PCs for our project works and then in the med school used them to find additional references, on a custom made program that had important books scanned for us. We could find what we were looking for in the program, read a bit and then get print outs to read them thoroughly later. The problem we faced was that there were only two PCs with this program installed. If the college could connect to a central server with thin clients working, then it would have HELPED us to get easier to access to that important database. One of my friends who is a teacher in a management college also talks about a similar program. This program has database of loads of companies and students use it for their projects but once again the lack of terminals is a problem. Don't even think about buying more desktops and installing more than one copy. Each license of this programs is leased at a cost of 1.25 lacs per year!!! These simple things can be done in easier ways by using thin clients. They don't need machines good enough to play The Sims or churn code for them. They just want to use them for research and projects :) Fact is, people graduating today - a large majority anyway - have no idea about computers save the fact that word processing is the same as MS Word, presentations mean Powerpoint, and viruses and trojans are something we just have to live with - things which can't be dealt with. How many people who use windows (students, so called people who 're aiming to be the techological elite of tomorrow) even know how to use the registry in order to see if they might have a trojan on their machine? Ok, so maybe I've exaggerated a bit - but this goes for most cases. ...and your point being? How will thin clients worsen this problem? The only thing it will do is help schools/colleges the way I explained above. I seriously don't understand. You want schools to install more desktops and then tell their students...Hey, here you go. Go ahead...screw with registry?. Ridiculous!!! And considering this state of affairs, you've got potential computer science majors using terminals which restrict them even further? Ok, so citrix machines and the like are pretty popular - I've used them myself, and done a rather large number of (*interesting*) things with them - much to the concern of a large number of sysadmins. But when you want to find out if you can break the encryption and capture keystrokes off someone else in your lab, and maybe surprise them - thin clients are going to be hardpressed. No one is saying you to install them in engineering colleges or from where people will major in computer science. I think you should look the other way and see that there is more to this world then just encryptions and capturing keystrokes. This more to the world is where these clients can help. Just because this technology will not allow you to break into someone else's property for fun doesn't mean that it will not help anyone.

I know of this as phonetic keyboard/inscript which has a more methodical layout of letters on the keyboard ( vowels on the left side of the key board, consonants on the right and arranged in a systematic way). I think linux comes with the Lohit font (FC4) and by adjusting the keyboard layout, you can type hindi easily. I searched for the Lohit Font and seems that it is a font for Punjabi and not Hindi. Can you please confirm which font you are using. I don't mind using any font until it renders properly. Also can you please send me the keyboard layout you are using so that may be I could try it on my system and see if it works. However, Kword does the job well, except one character which I don't remember now. You can work in kword and copy it back to openoffice or whereever. But I will suggest you to try the inscript/phonetic keyboard layout, now quite standard with most of the linux distributions. Rajesh I tried kword and yes it did render the ksha and tra properly but the problem with the shift+num keys still exists because of which I am unable to use characters like gya (as in gyan) ,anusvar and nukta.

[ilugd] Special Hindi characters not being rendered properly.
Hello, I have a Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A and am trying to type in Hindi in OpenOffice under KDE 3.4.3. I am facing problems in typing special characters like sri and tra. Also as shown in devanagri keymap when I use number keys with Shift key, I should get special characters but instead I get the actual symbols that are drawn on keyboard (screenshots attached for reference). Since xorg does not support my keyboard, I am using an alternate keyboard layout Microsoft Internet Keyboard. I have also tried using 104 keys keyboard layout but that didn't help either. On the other hand, using Hindi keyboard with traditional hindi layout on Windows XP works well in OpenOffice with all characters working smoothly. Please help me and give me some ideas on how to go about solving this problem. Do I need to use some alternate keyboard model? Can I use Windows' keyboard layout in Linux? Is it a problem with the layout of the keyboard model I have selected? I have searched but found nothing helpful. Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
