[Commercial] Muktware Anniversary and Foss Writing
by Swapnil 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi, Sorry for bugging you again. Muktware will complete one year in April. It's an achievement for us, especially for me as after moving from India, and quitting LFY, it was a challenge for me to stay connected to the FOSS world and continue to contribute in the manner I could -- writing and publication. Today Muktware is a well known online publication. Thanks to a lot of LUG members who have been guiding me through this. To celebrate one year, we are increasing the payment per-article. Now we pay Rs 1,000 or US$ 20 per article. The minimum length is 750 words. We are inviting reviews of OpenSuse 11.4. Gnome 3 and other latest distros. We are also inviting columns on contemporary issues. Please help me continue this FOSS journey. PS: We are based out of Brussels, Belgium. If any of you have plans to visit Brussels, please get in touch. Best Swapnil Bhartiya

autocad alternative in linux
by Kussh Singh 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

I finally seem to have come across a viable alternative to autocad for linux. Its called bricscad and seems to be much much faster in linux/ubuntu. I have given it to some other people for evaluation purposes but it looks to finally help engg companies and technically minded people to now switch over more easily to linux. Its not free but still much affordable.--they say its one 15th the cost of autocad. Only Tally remains a barrier for the switchover from windows to linux for the general user at the small business office now--hopefully some alternative software for linux will soon come out so as to make the transition painless.

music anyone?
by Kenneth Gonsalves 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

hi, here are the specs for an application a company I consult with wants to build, anyone interested in joining to build/consult on this please come forward. They will pay. specs: a. Music archive (presently containing about 4000 hours of classical carnatic music, which will grow to about 10000 hours (about 1TB of disk space)) - mp3 format b. Music can be accessed by artist, composer, raga, tala, album etc (the usual metadata) c. Access through 20 touchscreen kiosks with headsets (PCs with touch screen monitors) connected to the server d. Admin facility at the backend to organize, index, sequence etc e. Touchscreen interface for the listener to choose tracks/albums by various metatags a,b and d can be done using django or some such framework. I do not have much of a clue about c and e. or is there some open source app that does most of this and can be customised? -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/

where in India can one find wimax antennas and equipment?
by Kussh Singh 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hi There is a school in a remote location and I was wondering if that location could be connected via wimax or wireless mesh networking at a reasonable cost. The service provider there is asking too much money upfront for speeds as low as 2Mbps. Is there a possibility of a layman/do it yourself type to set up a wimax network for them so as to access the internet easily? Which are the unregulated frequencies for wimax/wimesh and which equipments would be needed? Can anybody help? At the Pabal school (vigyanashram.com) some company from bangalore had setup a communication link but unfortunately it was not sustainable maybe due to financial or logistic problems or it happenned when the technology was raw.

Hi, How do we address the issues of making it work the latest chipset provided by the Service Provider to make it work on Ubuntu Desktops.

[x-post] Scientific Linux 6.0 released
by Arun Khan 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Scientific Linux 6.0 is based on RHEL 6.0 with add-ons for scientific computing. FWIW, the Admin tools etc. are pretty much the same as in RHEL. There is no firm date for CentOS 6.0 yet; so you if you want to see what is in RHEL 6.0 (and don't have subscription) you can try this distro to get your hands wet.

Finnix 101 - Good Boot Options
by Rony 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hello, I regularly use 'finnix' as a bootable CD to get a root command prompt with lots of utilities for system maintainence. This time the latest version 101 was downloaded and burned. Along with the usual boot time utilities, I found a nice option called 'Hardware Detection Tool'. This is very useful to get details about your motherboard, chips, devices etc. without opening your machine. Very quick and handy. So..... go ahead and try it out. http://www.finnix.org/ -- As a proper list etiquette... Please trim your replies. Post your replies below the relevant original text, leaving a line space. Do not re-use old messages to write new ones. Regards, Rony.
