Opensource for a Small Manufacturing unit
by Sachin G Nambiar 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, Am going to work in a small manufacturing unit with a T.O. of around 9cr. Currently they do have a few desktops(un-networked) with pirated copies(based on discussions i doubt they know the difference and i want to change that) of Windows XP installed. By their roadmap and current projects in hand they see a very easy jump into a sub 20cr and perhaps more, category. I propose to install opensource software in this company, mostly to avoid licensing issues as soon as they are spotted on MS's radar as they grow larger. It's business not ideology. Requirements: Tally software Autocad/Studioworks or any other as good opensource/linux variant. Spreadsheet Email etc These are the basic requirements and currently they dont even have a website mostly because their business is not web centric or even remotely close to it. I know there are other engineering based software variants to autocad out there, but are they as good? and what about Tally. As far as i know they can definitely afford a licensed version of engineering/accounting software. But they really need to avoid software costs in the future. People i assume are not very software oriented apart from basic usage. Please note that software has to be scalable as the business is going to grow! So i would also need some miniature BI tool(even if it's just a spread sheet in it's simplest form) if possible in the future. What are the possible chinks in going ahead with this model of using opensource? Regards, Sachin -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Recommend a Linux distro
by Dinesh Joshi 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi list, A friend of mine is a network admin. Recently, I had a talk with him and convinced him to use GNU/Linux to control the internet access to all the client PCs in his organization. His requirements are pretty simple and can be satisfied by using Squid. But the problem is that his knowledge of GNU/Linux is nill, zero! Now I would really like to know if there is some distro that can meet his requirements ( Proxy, NAT, DNS Cache, Firewall easy to setup and web based administration of the server ). You know something that would need him to only pop in the CD on a fresh machine - install automatically without creating too much fuss about partitioning scheme, the packages that he wants etc.. etc.. and would give him a simple web based interface ( something like we have on cheap routers or similar to webmin ). All suggestions are welcome. -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi

[GLUG-BOM Wiki]: Software Reviews page
by Roshan 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hello List, Used a different Office suite? Liked a compiler? Friend recommended a application and you tried it? Want it to recommend to others? The GLUG-BOM Wiki now has a Reviews page. http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Reviews Feel free to add your reviews on applications. Currently, there's no structure on how the application is rated. However, the one that currently exists, could be considered template. Later, there could be ratings in terms of stars. (Psst.. I know, I'm not good at advertising. May be I'll learn in the long run ;) ) -- FSF-India Fellow Associate http://www.gnu.org.in __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.

A great suggestion. I volunteer to help 'placing' such an article (but don't have the time right now to actually write it, plus with the brochure nearly ready why should the wheel be reinvented?), countering the HT new year article about laptops, all 5 of the top list not even mentioning Linux.
