buddy, all u managed to prove was ur utter ignorance of anything beyond your threshhold, and obviously, some one so puny minded as you has serious reasons to be scared of indians. US is a great country, and was made great by the influx of the best talent from the whole world. Did you by any chance know that you would most probably never suffer from an Y2K related trouble 'cause of those very "computer illetrate" people? I agree my country is poor(what do you expect when its been sucked dry for two hundred years by capitalist leeches?). But believe me, we do have electricity(of course, we don't have anything like eletroicity), we make by far the cheapest supercomputers on this planet, and we are not in debt to the UN. Silicon valley is full of indians, who have contributed significantly to the development of infotech. We launch our own satellites, and need only 5 tests to develop our nukes(needed for our national defence, like urs are for u), not the 12K-odd u guys conducted.
Grow up kid. There is a whole new world out there. All i can do is pity u.
well, they actually do not modify any of the source code, so the source code is available for everyone to use. It (i think) is not distributed on the CD to save space. I think the license seeks to prevent people from modifying the source and then not opensourcing it. It does NOT require u to always include source with all distros, as long as all the source is still accessible on the net, as it is, in this case, from the redhat site.
I agree with you mostly, but i think linux awareness wise, india is doing pretty well, mainly due to the efforts of PCQ. I am from iit delhi, and i know one of the PC labs with about 30-40 P-IIs, where Big Bill donated a number of copies of NT(when he visted india 2 years back), have now been converted to Redhat, cause no one wanted to work on NT. Also the main Computer center has as many linux PCs as NT, and the redhat ones are the only ones which are in usable conditions. Most of the comp. center is as it is UNIX(solaris,AIX) based.
linux currently does not seem to support all dialects. Emacs had support for devnagari though. And besides, most people in india study english more than they study their own regional dialects. That partly explains why their is no "indian version" of windows, like there is for china and japan.
Well, last year they tested redhat linux b4 they put it on their CD, and actually ran their WHOLE corporate intranet on an old 486, shifting the whole load from a set of pentiums running NT. they reported a continous uptime of about 2 months, and it was still up and running when the story ran. They usually had uptimes of a week with NT. Anyone installing Apache should probably read thru their writeup in their last years issue.
I am from India, and i have been using linux personally since 4 years. The magazine "PC quest" has distributed more than 60-70,000 copies of linux on its monthly free CD rom, almost every year since 1995. First they carried slackware, last year they carried RedHat 5.0. They cover story in last april was oriented towards an individual user. They had great, brief articles about configuring everything on Redhat.
Also in india, u can buy a real cheap assembled PC, with all the latest technology, and Linux Pre-installed, since the last 3 years. This is basically 'cause in india people are still not totally mindlessly caught into the mindset of "M$ = computers". And everyone realizes linux offers a great value for money.
I hope something is finally worked out for eudora. That is the only mailer i have seen which includes dialup scripting, and which can use just a shell access to access ur pop mail. All other requires one to first connect to the ISP, start ppp,, and then launch the mailer. Eudora really simplifies stuff if all one wants to do is check mail. OpenSource Eudora wouldbe GREAT!

It will be so! lets just keep the faith!
Amen.
Linux: The real peoples OS. For the people, from the people, by the people.
