Hi, Read for seeing how science made politics in USA on Star Trek, Star Trek -- Next Generation and so on on: http://www.arts.mcgill.ca/MEPP/exofile/sftv.html Is it possible for Indians to make a movie on Science mixing Science and politics. We only mix religion and politics and family drama and politics and politics and politics. But the most non-political show (I thought so) of Star Trek has USA politics in it. Erach

Need a movie production DVD distribution for LINUX with people trained on it
by Erach 13 Dec '08

13 Dec '08

I need a movie production distribution from LINUX and people trained to operate that distribution. So I guess the issue is not "this distribution v/s that distribution" but movie production distribution v/s music production distribution v/s server distribution v/s easy to use distribution. Now, I wish somebody could produce science fiction, peaceful movies (or even plays) that could become hits on television etc. Hi, Read for seeing how science made politics in USA on Star Trek, Star Trek -- Next Generation and so on on: http://www.arts.mcgill.ca/MEPP/exofile/sftv.html Is it possible for Indians to make a movie on Science mixing Science and politics.

debian software dependency to gnowledge dependencies
by Nagarjuna G 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

Several of us use Debian GNU/Linux and among other features we have all appreciated the way Debian software package dependencies are calculated to give us a stable package. At gnowledge.org we harvested the data from the packages.tgz file of Debian 4.0 and created a program that graphically displays the dependencies, called dependency maps. Search for your favorite package and see how dependent a software is on other packages. Few examples: http://www.gnowledge.org/debmap_view?objid=python http://www.gnowledge.org/debmap_view?objid=emacs21 Search for your favorite from: http://www.gnowledge.org/search_debmap?val=1 One of the main reasons why we are interested in Debian dependency maps is that we are inspired by that model and now wants to create a similar knowledge.tgz file for all concepts and activities as gnowledge.org is in the process of creating a gnowledge distribution. You will also be able to see how we are using the idea of Debian for knowledge domain. gnowledge.org is waiting for all of you to spread the message, specifically among the teachers of any subject whatsoever to add the dependency relations so that we can soon have a gnowledge (free knowledge distribution) distro. -- -- Nagarjuna G http://www.gnowledge.org

Supercomputer for rental --- any takers for research / university / what rental commercially possible with LINUX
by Erach 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Hi, Suppose I had a 150 TB / 74 CPU dual quad Intel on Rental.Connected by dual Ethernet of 1.0 Gigabits second. Would it help advance research in India ? Would new pharma drugs come out of it ? Should it be given to students say at the rental of Rs 500 a month/Rs 1000 a month (they can easily afford that from their UGC scholarships ---- what max can I charge for it). In 2 years time it wouldn't cost much. And it would generate tonnes of parallel programmers. Currently, would it be good for high-tech research all over India/third world countries all over the world ---------------- can such a super-computer be used for destruction/ I say NOT. This would spur tremendous research in the next 10 years as Universities churn out people over a Beowulf cluster. Erach
