It would be great if you could allow people to RSVP you, that way we can get an estimate of the actual number attending and accordingly select a place. Thanks for the info, Regards, - vihan

Hi Mrugesh, I have a suggestion. FSF should stop being so hypocritic and start using > a term like FOSS/Linux that signifies Freedom. By using GNU/Linux, > you're stealing the credit from the likes of Xorg and KDE. If you're > really concerned about freedom, start highlighting freedom, not your > own name. The issue is that ``certain organisations/people" don't care and don't want to care about how and why the Free Software movement started, but use software nevertheless. In the process, that concept and ideology for which everything that was initiated is lost. A good example is khadi. Any/Every one who wears khadi garments mainly do it out of a fashion statement or its ``technical/material benefits" in any weather. Nobody(or may be one in lakh) would really say talk about how khadi came into being or what it stands for. Thus it becomes necessary to continue the activism to keep people aware of the cause. Lest it be forgotten. Oh and before anyone starts a flame war, I am a fan of the GNU > philosophy. But that doesn't mean that I have to like or agree with > everything that FSF or RMS say or do. i agree with you completely on the flame war bit AND that you have very much a right to your opinion. But remember IF tomorrow that `right' is taken away from you too will HAVE to take steps to get it back and make sure it is NEVER revoked for you or anyone else. Regards, - vihan

Linux compatible motherboards.
by Rony 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hello All, Whenever there have been arguments on this list about linux compatible hardware, the experts are of the opinion that they select their hardware in such a way that its compatible to linux without any extra effort. So here is a request to all the experts to provide some information on the motherboards and processors they use, that are directly compatible to linux . Could you provide a small list of motherboard models that you have been using on desktop/workstation systems running linux, for the last 6 months? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

by Dinesh Shah 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi All, I would like to thank the speakers - Krishnakant Mane, Rajeev R K, Vihan Pandey, who have shared their knowledge. I would also like to thank the volunteers - Anurag Patel, Naveen, Mr. Rao and other two persons, for providing back end support before and during the seminar. I would also like to thank Venktesh Hariharan of Red Hat for providing Fedora Core CDs for distribution among participants. We have got excellent feedback on all the speakers and participants were of the opinion that the time allocated was not enough. :-) We will ask the College authorities to organise a full day seminar/workshop for GNU/Linux in near future. Looking forward to continued participation in all future GNU/Linux awareness activities. With regards, -- --Dinesh Shah :-)

Hello Krishnakant, You can do that simply by : # sudo passwd root This will enable a password for the root user.
