Linux vs Windows as my selection.
by Amish Munshi 15 Nov '02

15 Nov '02

Hi, These are the practical reason why I have selected Linux as my OS. Windows : The only plus being is that it is easier to use. (no one will deny that) More support for games (But with a bad graphics card that I have, I hardly play any games on windows as well). Linux : No Viruses. Technically correct. Non - microsoft product (so it is out of dirt cheap politics) More flexible. I hold a prestigious place in my friend circle when I say that I know linux, since everyone knows that it is not that widely used so I got to be different. No formatting whenever you are in problems. You can pinpoint the problem and solve it without formatting and starting a fresh (This is actually the same as flexibility). More efficient code which improves my networking and hardware life. Last but not the least Power (You can smell the power of your computer, sweating and making noise when you are on linux) Selection is all yours. You pay $$$$$ for that one advantage of ease of use or the above listed points. Bye. Amish K. Munshi ICQ 85730949 === Never ask a geek why, just nod your head and slowly back away.===

IIT for the expo ...
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi, Jaju and I talked to Dr. Phatak some time ago, about our plans for the expo, PRC, regular workhshops etc. He has promised complete support from KReSIT towards the event. He also mentioned a new "Affordable Computing Lab" that will be started at KReSIT in a couple of months ... August or later seems like a good date, December or May is ideal for IIT. Those are the only two months when accomodation could be available ... Sameer. -- MTech Student, Reconfigurable Computing Lab, KReSIT, IIT-Bombay. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "I understand this is your first dead client," Sabian was saying. The absurdity of the statement made me want to laugh but they don't call me Deadpan Allie and lie. -- Pat Cadigan, "Mindplayers"
