Linux desktops for new users
by Richard Victor Correia 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Hi, One of my friend is in cargo business having 7 PCs. He asked me to buy windows XP licenses for all 7 PCs. His employees just check emails and work on office documents such as word, excel, powerpoint. I told him that Linux can be used easily with few hours training for above mentioned things. I also explained the stability and cost effectiveness of it. Now the question is, which distribution should we suggest? Which desktop environment? Which email client (closer to Outlook look and feel) ? Please suggest. -- Thanks, Richard Victor Correia PH: +91 9004911199

Career in Software testing
by Nitesh Mistry 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello all, I keep reading a couple of ads in newspapers regarding 'Diploma in Software Testing'. Being a commerce graduate with fair amount of computer skills (that sounds too sujective) I want to know from the people in software industry following this list, whether it is worth pursuing it, and what are the future opportunities? What would be the scope of development after the initial employment at software tester? What kind of skills are involved in getting successful at this career? What might be the range of remuneration? Thanks in advance for helping me make a career decision. -- Regards, Nitesh Mistry www.mistrynitesh.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GB/J/IT/O>TW d+(-) s+:+>: a- C+ UL>+++ P L++>+++ !E W++ N* o?

by Pratik Anand 25 May '10

I am searching for an enocoder/decoder that can convert .mkv to .mp4 or any other format that I can play in my DVD player without loss of quality. I have tried using Mplayer's *mencoder* to convert to mpg or avi but it resulted in pathetic quality. Any other ideas ? Please suggest ...... -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (2nd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone

Re: [ILUG-BOM] How to convert mkv to mp4 or other DVD player compatible format
by Sanket Shah 25 May '10

Ffmpeg would work. It works best from command line, but various gui tools also there. Arista transcoder came with lucid works ok, meant for portablea alone. Various gui frontend there for ffmpeg, try winff, was buggy when I used it a few years back, nothing works like the comand line though...
