Hi Friends I recently purchased HP J028tx laptop which came along with pre installed Windows 8. I plan to get rid of windows 8 completely and install Ubuntu, but would like to know how to retain Windows 8 licence as no windows license key was provided along with the laptop. I may need the license to setup virtual instance for testing connectivity with Samba ADs server. Kindly advice Regards Joel Divekar Mumbai

Change of Profile to Information Security

by Amit Joshi

Hi Group, Currently I am working in the Surveillance industry and was looking for a profile change to the Information Security Industry. I tried to study the general trends people follow to get into this industry and most of them either had an in-depth knowledge of Linux / Unix / System Administration through courses like RHCE/ LPIC etc, or through direct experience. My level of knowledge in Linux is what some may call "intermediate" - but thats a self-proclamation. I am studying for the RHCSA+RHCE exams. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks. -- Regards, Amit Joshi

[OT]34, 115 Indian PSU bank branches are at risk due to their reliance on Windows XP

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [fosscomm] 34,115 Indian PSU bank branches are at risk due to their reliance on Windows XP Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 21:58:52 +0530 From: Guru गुरु <Guru(a)ITforChange.net> Reply-To: Indian FOSS Community Network list <network(a)lists.fosscom.in> To: Fosscom Network <network(a)fosscom.in>, ict-education-india(a)googlegroups.com, indianteachereducators(a)googlegroups.com Source - http://www.varindia.com/Microsoft-to-end-support-for-Windows-XP-34K-bank-br… Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) <http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/default.aspx> has revealed the results of a startling study of the banking sector in India today.Â Conducted by Ascentius Consulting, the study has revealed that some 34,115 Indian PSU bank branches are at risk due to their reliance on Windows XP. Windows XP will no longer be supported by Microsoft beginning April 08, 2014 <http://www.microsoft.com/india/msindia/pressreleases/banks-in-india-could-b…>, but the study shows that the penetration of Windows XP is still high at 40â70% in the banking sector. Amongst the greatest risks facing banks that maintain their Windows XP installations, despite the end of support, are their ability to respond to customers and manage waiting times.Â Besides, there are several IT risks that will require extensive effort to manage. In the light of these, CERT-IN has also come out with an advisory recommending immediate migration. We have been advising our customers to move off Windows XP for a long time now. There are a significant number of PCs out there that still need to be moved as per a plan. The move to a modern OS like Windows 8.1 will not only alleviate the risks for users and businesses but will also open up opportunities posed by modern technology, like the cloud, for them, said Amrish Goyal, General Manager, Windows Business Group, Microsoft Corporation (India) Pvt. Ltd. <http://www.varindia.com/Krrish-3-Game-comes-exclusive-on-Windows-Platform.h…> According to the most recent Security Intelligence Report by Microsoft, Windows XP users are six times more likely to be infected than users of modern operating systems like Windows 8.1, despite encountering the same amount of threats. Windows XP users are also twenty-one times more vulnerable. regards, guru

Mumbai LUG Meetup for November

by Rigved Rakshit

Hello, I am looking at 17th November, 2013 (Sunday) as the day for the next LUG meetup. The timing will be 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. JFYI, there might be a workshop on iOS development from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., followed by our meetup. Then, the Python and Javascript meetups will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Last time, everyone went out for lunch. This time, I think we should order food from the restaurants nearby, so that we can sit in the cafeteria and have lunch there itself. The last LUG meetup was good but we found ourselves lacking in time. If the concerned people are up for it, we can schedule those missed sessions for this November meetup. We will get around 2 hours at the next meetup, so we need to limit the number of sessions to 3. My suggestion would be a session of 15-20 minutes followed by 10 minutes to discuss the topic(s) of the session. This way, we can cover 3 sessions in 90 minutes. If any company working on a FOSS stack would like to take a session spot, they are more than welcome to do so. In addition to those sessions, we will also have the Spotlight session, focusing on on a GNU/Linux distro. This can be covered in the remaining 30 minutes. So, what is everyone's take on the above? Any suggestions on how things can be handled in a better way? Best Regards, Rigved
