raspppoe - alternative? Intel 810 - Ubuntu?
by Roshan 26 May '07

26 May '07

List, I tried Ubuntu 6.06 on one of my friend's computer. His comptuer's specs are Intel Pentium III 866 MHz Intel 810 - Motherboard 256 MB of RAM 120 GB Hdd (80 + 20) HP monitor Peripherals (essentail kbd, mouse, samsung CD-RW drive) Though the Live CD worked well without problems, I actually couldn't connect to internet. This is because, his ISP is Exatt Net and the provider uses raspppoe (for authentication, I guess. I don't know what sort of internet connection this is). Assuming that this connection was pppoe, I tried running pppoe on the Live CD, and found that it isn't available in the Live CD. (Is this what I was supposed to do? ) Tried Knoppix for the same, but Knoppix couldn't figure out the monitor and the screen was showing a series of varied color horizontal lines, after bootup. Is there any other Live CD, that would have pppoe on its Live CD to try and connect to his internet. Perhaps, if someone could post a how-to on the wiki with details about the "cablewala ka internet" or an ISP such as one mentioned above, it would be helpful for many. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Download prohibited?

Free Advice for the Litigious... Sun CEO on Microsoft's patent threat to Free Software
by Praveen A 25 May '07

25 May '07

Free Advice for the Litigious... "All of which is to say - no amount of fear can stop the rise of free media, or free software (they are the same, after all). The community is vastly more innovative and powerful than a single company. And you will never turn back the clock on elementary school students and developing economies and aid agencies and fledgling universities - or the Fortune 500 - that have found value in the wisdom of the open source community. Open standards and open source software are literally changing the face of the planet - creating opportunity wherever the network can reach."

25 May '07

hi, we have finalised arrangements to host the NRC-FOSS node in mumbai at VJTI. VJTI is giving us a lab with 30 machines and space for holding meetings, seminars, classes etc as well as an office. The node will be coordinated by Professor Jitendra Shah from the VJTI end and Mrugesh Karnik from the community end. Mrugesh is currently working along with Pradeepto, Vihan and Anurag on this. We are sure that many more community people will come forward to support this. The facilities will be available for any foss activity including lug, fsug meetings, seminars, course etc etc. The node will also help coordinate spreading of FOSS in colleges and schools in the state as well as help NRC-FOSS in it's task of getting FOSS into the curriculum of engineering colleges in the state. An important part of the activity will be to encourage and foster the development of FOSS code in the area. You may contact the node at nrcfoss.mumbai@au- kbc.org. Physical location and contact details will be given as and when they are set up. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

List, Does the command import -depth 8 -density 72x72 filename.png take a screenshot with 8bpp and 72dpi as resolution? Though the tool identify -verbose filename.png would list the details, I just want to confirm, if I'm doing the right thing.
