No one takes Dewang Mehta seriously out here. His organisation NASSCOM doesn't even know how to run a Web site. See what I mean:

Hey, you're getting this the wrong way round. What do you mean by someone taking free software and making a binary-only release designed to be easily replicatable over the Net? It's the open source version that's going to spread faster: it's the version that's better suited to being modified for easier distribution.
Computer magazines have been taking the initiative where vendors haven't. PC Quest has been carrying Linux on a cover CD once every year since 1996 (Slackware the first two years, RH since). CHIP Magazine (where I work) put RH 6.0 on it's August 99 CD with an eight-page article on installing and the first few steps. PC World has Corel Linux on the current issue's CD. All major magazines here come with monthly cover CDs. It's how we make up for lack of bandwidth to download individually.
I can't get past the./configure stage of Ethereal. It says that I need a net/bpf.h file. What file is this and what devel package do I install to get it?
I'll say this is the best April 1st joke I've ever come across.
Much saner than the what's under your chair kind that everyone comes up with (one person ewrnt around installing Back Orifice on everyone's system around here).
Keep it up UF. You almost had me there. Your "closed" notice even made it to our notice board today morning.

Where did you get the 99% literacy rate from? AFAIK, it's somewhere closer to 50%.

Women get burnt? Where? Certainly not here. Sati was abolished in the 1700s.
