Running a centralised shipit program would be too costly as well as requiring dedicated manpower. Instead a decentralised system like filling up a wiki page of those who have the CDs and those wanting one is more cost effective and also improves 'the social network' within the community. Also, by setting up a shipit like service, people would expect better or professional artwork on CDs and CD covers which would up the cost further. My suggestion would be to charge a small fee to cover replication cost. I has two benefits. 1. When user pays even Rs 10 for a CD, he/she will install it because they now see value. I am sure the software in the CD is worth much more.. so if people are not wiling to pay a small fee, then they won't use the free CD. 2. It would cover the costs and hence make your activity sustainable. My two paisa :) BTW people can still get Ubuntu CDs from Chip/Digit magazines.. which often bundle the latest distro.. in fact now most of the magazines bundle Ubuntu CDs. -- Prakash Advani | http://cityblogger.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] What is Command to cleanup the old existing installed software ?
I have not installed package from repository. Actually, I had downloaded tesseract-ocr source codes from svn and was installed using command like ./confgure. make etc. As such correct commandline is requested for using in terminal to delete/remove/uninstall all installed tesseract-ocr including tessdata folder.
