[HW/OT] HP Mini 2133 with Linux
by Arun Khan 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Is this model available in Mumbai? If so, anyone had a look at it, price etc? I have seen a model in Dubai (8.9" dispay, 512MB RAM, 120HDD, V7 1.2GHz, 1.3 Megapixel Webcam) retailing for about AED 1550 (+100 AED for 1GB RAM upgrade). The OS is Novell/SuSE Linux desktop. The keyboard is larger (and IMO more useable) compared to Acer One and the new ASUS EEEpc. The downside is that the warranty on units sold in Dubai is not valid in India. -- Arun Khan

accounting related softwares in linux
by Kussh Singh 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Could anybody here comment on kalculate.com and how it is when compared to Tally in terms of standard features, bugs, todolists, user feedback? Also cometmedia.org's Krishnakant Mane has been making a python equivalent for customising gnucash to do accounting work for small businesses/organisations. Anybody knows how these softwares are and are there any independent critics of the same who can tell the state of progress/development. Making linux favorable for desktop users, specially small organisations means there must be an accounting package relevant to India. The most resource constrained organisations are schools and colleges, training institutions etc but edubuntu, ltsp.org, moodle etc are hardly mentioned on most of our LINUX websites. Kussh -- Costs of everything have decreased with time but man's greed and fear are keeping prices artificially HIGH http://www.kalculate.com/costs.php --instead of Tally accounting software

Need some help with sms related project
by Jai Vora 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hello, Im a comp sci student from Mumbai . I need some help with regards to a project im planning to do . The project involves an application on the server side which records orders made by a user . A user can send his order details by sending an sms to a particular number . When the order is received, the system sends a confirmation sms back to the user. I indend to develop the backend system on Linux platform using PHP . But i have no idea as to how the sms communication part would work . I have heard of some open source sms gateway packages like Kannel, but dont have exact idea of how it can be applied in the above scenario . Will this involve purchasing a service from some wireless operator ? . Any helps or tips as to how the above system can be implemented would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

ISPs Messing with TTL
by Mandar Joshi 17 Oct '08

Hey guys, Had seen a mail on this list a while back about someone being able to use their connection under Windows but not under Linux. Well, I looked into it. Seems like they are looking at the TTL values in the packets. I have described it here http://mndar.phpnet.us/tutorials/Tips_Tricks/ttl.html http://www.geocities.com/emailmandar/ttl.html -Mandar Joshi ________________________________ Have you been here yet ? http://mndar.phpnet.us
