Hi,

Wasn't well the past few days. Tonight I'm in the mood to install OSes on my laptop so thanks for your suggestion. Will give Debian a try.

Ashish.

Hi guys,

My name is Ashish Kakar. I'm from Mumbai. I just joined this mailing group. I had tried searching for a Linux User Group in Mumbai earlier but without much success. Today I got some free time at work so I decided to try again et voila! I have been using Linux for a couple of years now (5-6) but I cant say I'm an expert yet. I have tried Mandriva, Ubuntu, Slax (briefly), Fedora, CentOS in that order and currently I don't have any OS (not even Windows) on my laptop. I'm curious about a few distros like Gentoo and Arch.

Try Debian

Anyways, do we have any meetups? I would love to be there.

There are occasional meets. Better still you can organise one.

The. Venue of Foss monthly meet in February reminds me of medicines conference hosted by pharma corporates. Good or bad, you decide!

Agreed, for Foss events $MS may not be the right place.

But its, "Technology Meetup Group", host events in all technologies :).

Hi,

I might give Arch a try too though I have no idea how it works. From what I've heard Arch and Gentoo are a bit more hands-on. You have to be a little bit more of a hacker to work on them. But I guess there are plenty of docs to get me started. If you have any tips for beginners let me know.

Thanks,

Ashish

Hi Milind,

I think this is a great idea! Linux meetups are always very exciting. Also, holding the meeting at a univ. seems to be a good idea. I'm all for it. But try to keep the meetups on Sundays if possible. All other days are working days for me.

And thanks for taking the initiative.

Ashish Hi Ashish,

Welcome to this group. I am also new to Linux and to this group and I too had difficulty in finding this group. People here are kind and helpful. You will enjoy being here.

It is a good idea to meet periodically in order to share our knowledge and views. Many of us have different ideas, views regarding the prime objective of this group. But everything can't be put in message threads.

So at least informal meetups should be arranged. Later on they may lead to official group meetings in case there is good response.

An educational institute is one of the best places to meet. In view of letter from HRD Ministry through IIT-B to colleges, offering help to migrate to Linux, such meetings are not only logical but imperative for open source movement. (see http://docdro.id/KcBmiZS).

Myself and Pralhad (also a member of this group) would like to arrange such an informal meet.

Location : SIWS College, Wadala Near ICT, VJTI, Khalsa College

All are welcome. Please drop a mail to me with your cell no. We will chalk out a plan accordingly.

Thanks and regards.

Milind

Great Idea Milind. Count me in for such a meet, schedule permitting. I can even take up a topic for a small talk. Lots of possibilities there.....

hi rajnish kumar, let me hazard a guess. The link that comes with every email (at the bottom) will help you manage your subscription to the mailing list. To be more obvious, try going to http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
