India's $35 Tablet- The Everything Killer
by Vivek Varghese Cherian 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, On July 22 a $35 (or 1500 INR) hand-held Linux computing device was unveiled by Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister for Human Resource Development of India. The goal of the project is to lower the price to around $20 in time and eventually reaching the amazing price of $10. In a tablet form-factor and using an unspecified variant of Linux (that some have said might be Android), the cost should remain low while offering a wide range of functionality. The Sakshat descendant is said to be capable of supporting video conferencing, viewing a wide selection of video and image files, word processing, de/compressing files, printing with CUPS, full Internet browsing with Javascript and Flash, wireless communications, and remote device management.

Congratulations for MiniDebConf
by Nitesh Mistry 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Read various accounts of the successfull mini-debconf held in Pune. Congratulations to all the organisers and participants. Just wondering... with almost 200 participants (as reported) why should it have been called *mini* debconf. To me it looked like a proper debconf. Keep up the good work. Hope I can attend the next one -- 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? K? w--- O?

[OT] New Opera browser for touch screen mobiles.
by Rony Bill 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hello, Although not related to linux, but to viewing our list online. Opera has come out with a new browser for mobiles. It is the new version 5.x which is excellent for mobile phones. Its default mode is not 'mobile' or full screen so it will have to be done in the settings. The best part of this browser is its comfortable font and word wrapping feature that makes reading very comfortable. Another nice feature is tabbed browsing. Press down on a link and you get the option to open it in a new tab. I'm loving it. -- Sent from my mobile device As a proper list etiquette... Please trim your replies.

Hello, I have noticed that some members' reply mails to the list have a cc: to the OP too. The OP replies to the message expecting it to reach the list and it ends up going to that member only. Maybe your email clients are doing this so guys could you check your settings please. Thanks. -- As a proper list etiquette... Please trim your replies.

The control machine simply instructs the source machine to forward the data to the destination machine. There is no way data will pass through the control machine. It is only issuing instructions. Since the source and destination paths are absolute, the machines can directly link to each other. However they will have to be set up for password-less login so that data can pass on from source to destination without authentication. If I guess correctly, when the control machine issues an scp command to the source machine in the example given by Osric, [user3@host3 ~]$ scp user1@host1:file user2@host2:path only host1 will offer its key to the control machine and ask for the user1 password. The host2 machine will not talk to the control machine at all. Host1 will talk to host2. -- As a proper list etiquette... Please trim your replies.
