This is one approach. What I am looking at is little different....
When a WIN98 User Authenticates against WIN2K server, the authentication request is forwarded to the LDAP server, the LDAP server Authenticates the user. I cannot change my WIN2K server from PDC to anything else, due to some other application's restriction. May be Active Directory can be of use here....
This way in future if we put SUN, Netware or other Servers, the Authentication can remain centralised.
What do u say...Can this be achieved.
Thx Poonam

Hello Luggers...
Hope you all are doing great in life....;).
I write with a specific issue here to be resolved. As part of this community i ENCOURAGE all of you to share in and pitch in with your own UNIQUE ideas and comments which will be VITAL towards framing a final draft letter as i am going to explain below.
On the lines of Initiative of taking Free Software and Gnu-Linux all over the country we would like to FRAME A LETTER of INTRODUCITON which i want to print out in a few thousand copies and have them sent accross to all Technical Institutions and other Relevant Educational Insitutions accross the country.
Someone......please start by suggesting in your OWN words the context of the mail introducing the LUG and talking about its initiatives and REQUESTING for a Workshop at their primises at their convienience.
I hope this time YOU WON'T need UMPTEEN number of reminders to kick start the letter writing process.
I am beggining to look around for donors to take this process ahead. So go ahead and do your bit for the community.
Bye for now and have a nice day.
PN: Feel free to call me on my cell if anyone would like to help out in KIND and help us help the rest.

That's a good start, I guess! :-D
Points I can think of: 1. An abstract on Nag's paper about "Why free software matters" 2. The fact that a GNU/Linux user is a member of an entire community 3. Examples of academic research projects that are done on GNU/Linux because of the freedom that they afford. 4. Importance of involving students in a community-wide effort and making real contributions instead of just arbit project ideas. 5. Instances like the IndLinux where a handful of people have managed to do something that can bring computing to millions in India.
Sameer.

If that's one of the targets, it makes sense to highlight the 1 Server many (dumb) terminals scenario too. The benefits are:
- For the same cost of hardware, more seats can be provided. Now get a larger hall to house the lab!
- It is easier to maintain one server than 20 workstations. If the server is Linux and the workstations are Windows, the disparity grows even more.
- Students get access to high quality software. The comparisons are again, quite glaring - TC++ vs GCC, Emacs/Vi vs. Notepad/Wordpad, Mozilla vs. IE....
- Install once, available everywhere software.
- The temperamental advantage that someone growing on Unix has over someone growing on Windows. (Matters a lot, seriously).
HR-wise, it might seem at first that the school would have to hire a highly qualified sysadmin to maintain the server but that extra salary is more than overcome by elimination of "Lab Incharge"s who's sole responsibility is to clean up the disks, run defraggers and install the same software over and over on each system. IMHO, a good teacher can very well handle the duty of sys-administration so, for the school, the TCO indeed comes down.
<Flashback> We had these two labs "Unix" and "HP", running VMS and HP-UX in our University's Computer Centre (CC). Even though the hardware was old and crappy, the quality of software we got was what kept most of us geeky types holed in there. We hardly ever went into the "Foundation Lab" running Windows on P-Is. Believe it or not, there was just one Pentium-I server running Linux that handled upto 50 concurrent users! I don't know how much RAM was there and whether it did SMP. </Flashback>
