Hi everybody, I am newbie to this group.let me introduce myself. I am Chetan Ingle working in Rolta india ltd as s/w engg.Working on advanced java and redhat linux.Well When after started working on linux I simply fall in luv with linux and now I fall in luv I don't wanna come back . So I want everything on linux. Well I just read message of Saswat Banerji,I think it's easy to migrate to linux so we can convince customer.I have over 2 years experience on linux and java where i have done same thing like migrating application to linux.The only thing we have to do is give good technical support to customer after migration.Once we do for one customer then remaining customers will be convinced automatically. let me know ur views too.

Linux - The Movie
by Bhargav Bhatt 17 Nov '02

17 Nov '02

Luggerz, There is an excellent documentary on Linux, available for free download on ftp://ftp.slackware.no/pub/video/The_Code-Linux.avi While some of it is in European Languages other than English, most of it is in English. It features extended interiviews with RMS, Linus, Raymond etc. There is also a 2-3 minute section where Linus talks about Linux and India. All in all, an excellent view, if u have the bandwidth(600MB). Cheers, -- Bhargav Bhatt, Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University.

MS Proposes Disclosing Windows Source To India
by Bhargav Bhatt 16 Nov '02

16 Nov '02

Wow fellows! It seems that Microsoft really wants India. As the Economic Times article, http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/html/comp/default? (linked from Slashdot) points out, they are going to disclose code of Windows to a certain goverment body. According to some, this could be fatal to the rise of Linux. However, I dont think so. The secret of the astronomic rise of Linux, IMO, lies in the free spirit it fosters among developers which enables each and everyone of them to make meaningul contributions to the code (surely M$ wont allow that). This helps retain the zeal among the developers which also explains why the relatively fewer bugs OSS get patched relatively quickly. Anyways, I am rambling OT. I am anxious to hear what you guys think about it. Will the FSF-India write another letter to the govt? -- Bhargav Bhatt, Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University. -- "If English was commutative, we could all talk like Yoda." - Anonymous.
