Hi Guys, I've been a member of this group for a few weeks now, this is my first mail to the group. I got acquainted to Linux only a few months back and i've tried Ubuntu 7.04, Xubuntu, Mandriva and Ubuntu 7.10 (which is currently dead again, lol). Its nice to know we have so many Developers in this group who can really 'create' stuff.
To me, an Indian version of Ubuntu sounds like a nice idea (i know its easier said than done) but I think we Indians should get something to brag about on Linux front. An Indian version may not necessarily mean the same Distro recoloured to Orange, White and Green, if the brainies around here can create something thats stable, innovative, easy to use, free and branded as INDIAN, I'm sure Indian PC retailers who give away pirated Windows copies to PC buyers (there's no other easy choice) would easily convert to Linux, making this distribution an Instant hit and the creators, instantly famous. Come to think of it, how many Indians (and I mean Mass market average users here) you know who have linux on their PCs and know how to use Linux, i think its a huge opportunity and people here can utilize it. :-) But again, its just my opinion, if you feel its too much for a first mail, sorry. lol, :-)) Regards, Hardeep Singh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kingsly John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ubuntu India Local Community" <ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 11:52 AM Subject: Re: [ubuntu-in] What happened to ubuntu-in development ? > +++ Bhavani Shankar R [2008-01-22 09:52:40]: > >> Yes..
