Siju George (Hifx IT and Media Services Private Limited, Cochin,
http://www.hifx.net) has implemented Samba based PDCs. Their network
consists of Microsoft Windows, GNU/linux and BSD boxes. Hifx also
sells Samba based Domain controller solutions.

 Siju would be the best person to guide you on this. I can pass you
his contact email address and phone number off list.

As far as I know once you configure Samba as a PDC, you don't need any
AD server.  I am not sure on the encryption part. Integration with
OpenLDAP is certainly possible.

[ilugd] India's $35 Tablet- The Everything Killer

2010-07-29 Thread Vivek Varghese Cherian
Hi,

On July 22 a $35 (or 1500 INR) hand-held Linux computing device was unveiled
by Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister for Human Resource Development of
India. The goal of the project is to lower the price to around $20 in time
and eventually reaching the amazing price of $10.

In a tablet form-factor and using an unspecified variant of Linux (that some
have said might be Android), the cost should remain low while offering a
wide range of functionality. The Sakshat descendant is said to be capable of
supporting video conferencing, viewing a wide selection of video and image
files, word processing, de/compressing files, printing with CUPS, full
Internet browsing with Javascript and Flash, wireless communications, and
remote device management.

The complete article is available on linux journal at the URL:

The Server is currently hosted on a Linode located in Dallas Texas,
 and I am open to moving it/or starting another node in India in due
course of time.

The Aim is not to create another node to a large network but to start a
small,
secure, independent IRC Network solely dedicated to Free Culture and FOSS
Projects and also India Centric though we don't discriminate anyone on the
basis of nationality on the Network.

This is what i find on the URL http://www.shipit.ubuntulinux.org/

Ubuntu CD Distribution Database

Request an Ubuntu CD!

The Ubuntu team will send you Ubuntu CDs at no charge, for you to
install and share. We will cover the cost of shipping the CDs to you as
well. If you would like to receive Ubuntu CDs, please create a new
account and tell us where to send the CDs and how many CDs You would

The cost of the Software, the CDs and its entire shipping charges are
"free as in gratis". Why should some one pay you Rs 50 for the CDs, when 
the Ubuntu team gives it to you free of charge ?
