With this aim in mind, we are organizing "GNUnify", with the whole hearted support of the management of our institute. Symbiosis Society needs no introduction, but since on the list there are also people from the international free software community, I would give a small introduction about Symbiosis & our institute. # About Symbiosis Established in 1971, primarily to promote world understanding between Indian and foreign students through education, Symbiosis International Cultural and Educational center runs seventeen academic institutions in various disciplines such as Management, Law, Computer, Journalism, Telecommunications, Arts, commerce and even Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary education. The student strength of Symbiosis is over 16,000 and students from over 32 different countries and from all states of India are presently pursuing education in different Symbiosis institutions. We in Symbiosis believe that "World is one Family". # About Our Institute. Since its inception in 1985, S.I.C.S.R is striving to give quality education to students through its several full-time & part-time affiliated and autonomous courses. From this year SICSR is a constituent of Symbiosis International Education Center (S.I.E.C), Deemed University. # About � GNUnify � The annual fest of SICSR � �Unify�, is composed of various cultural, academic events & contests. This year we are adding a new feather to our cap-GNUnify, our own way of contributing & encouraging the free software movement. HomePage: http://www.sicsr.ac.in [Note: Website will be up by 1st week of Jan 2003] E-Mail: gnunify(a)symbiosiscomputers.com # The Objective of GNUnify .

Will China go ahead of India, if they turn to free-software? 2.2 Free Software B-Plan Contest The major concern of most developers is that since GNU is free there is little / no money to be earned out it. To disprove this a free s/w or gnu based B-plan contest. People submit their B-plans built around free s/w. 2.3 Technical for e.g. .... How to use Apache .... Migrating from ASP to PHP .... Wirel 3. Techie-Talks [Under Planning - We are inviing speakers from accross the country.] 4. Hands-on Workshops [Under Planning] 5.

We're currently committed to RedHat 7.2. Redhat 7.3 and 8.0 are not unstable in any way. In the bioinformatics division at TCS we are using all three versions and a significant speed-up has been reported for version 8.0 in CPU-intensive and memory-intensive applications that process huge amounts of protein and gene data. I know that there have been many negative reports of Redhat 8.0 but we use it day in and day out and not a single complaint. Try it yourself and don't let others prevent you from benefitting from the significant upgrades present in the new versions. After all, Redhat 7.2 is now roughly a year old. And do remember that the latest drivers come bundled with the latest releases. Parul

Making the baby HP Deskjets: 3320, 3325 or 3420 work with Linux?
by Baji J. Ram Rao 27 Dec '02

Our Linux-based hospital software needs to support some budget HP deskjet printers. Experienced friends told us that Red Hat 7.3 and Red Hat 8.0 weren't stable enough, so best avoided. We're currently committed to RedHat 7.2. We had successfully used the HP Deskjet 880C and Deskjet 845C color inkjet printers, but today there are lower-priced printers. Right now,� we're trying to work with the latest budget entry-level printer, the HP Deskjet 3325 which sells for Rs. 3,899/- in Mumbai. It handles 1200x600 dpi color and prints a page in approx. 12 sec. The trouble is that while older deskjets could handle PCL, the new Deskjet 3325 can only handle LIDIL (Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language). What about Linux drivers? Linux support comes in the form of the "hpijs" driver starting version 1.3. The driver supports resolutions only up to 600 dpi. The bigger deskjets: 3820, 5550, 6122, 995C and big daddy 1220C all support HP PCL 3 and thrive on the drivers that come with the RH7.2 distro. Anyone have experience in making the baby Deskjets: 3320, 3325 or 3420 work with Linux? Ram Rao <ramrao(a)bajirao.com> Bajirao Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Chembur, Mumbai 400071
