    "What Jayachandra has developed with help of a band of committed computer professionals -- who have had extensive Linux training in the US for about 10 years -- operates on the easy-to-learn Linux technology."

    10 years of "extensive Linux training" huh? 10 YEARS?!? They've also got 12 years of programming skills with Java, and 9 years experence using Windows 2000....

    And, how come India has the "easy-to-learn Linux technology", but i'm stuck with this non-so-easy distrubution....

    (OK, I'll stop now, this is humour though, don't get too upset :)
