Hi Himanshu,
Hope you are still interested in the CD's/ DVD's
Which Linux distro do you want, i will send you the cd's/dvd's across
from mumbai,
Debain as always is COOL.. but lagging behind in the featureset offered
by the latest kernels,
FC3 will give you a famaliar RH env., but surely you need to try the
SuSe 9.x series its way tooooo cool...
we will be having cd's/dvd's of all of these or they can be downloaded
immediately. Got my new 10mbit
connection at my home...

Ok Tarun I will try it. if nothing works than i will get them from linuxbazaar.
I don't think i will manage 2-3 months back issue of LFY from local book shops.
They generally return them if not sold. But I will give a try to that too.
Yeah Mr. Rai. I am inclined towards debian this time. I have been using RHL for
quite sometime. I will try to start development on debian. Though I will have to
setup both of the machine with debian.
Thanks.

Hi Himanshu,
In Jaipur there is a shop called Surtaru Fusion (Matrix). It is in Raja Park. If
I remember it right, the guy who runs the shop is Harsh Madhok. The shop is on
the side of Big Shopper. I have bought linux CDs from there earlier on. Probably
thsy may have RH as well. I would reckon that you find the shop's number and
call them first. I had all these CDs but I am so very far (light years) away .
The other option is of course to order the CD from a place like
'LinuxBazar.com'.
A month or 2 ago LFY carried the FC3 DVD as well, if you can grab a copy from
somewhere! But of course that is not truely RH, but the sibling FC.
Hope you are able to resolve this problem. Good luck
Cheers

If you to try, then try Debian (Testing) and if adventurous,
then try Debian (Unstable). You need about two flopies or one CD to
make you PC to install rest of softwares from Internet. Once
installed and configured, you PC may keep all packages uptodate, be
you decide to do that, if you have good Internet connection.

But dont feel so sad as you mentioned in your opening line. Every

To type Ctrl characters at the shell prompt, keep the CTRL key
pressed, then press v, followed by the desired character. e.g.
to have ^M, press CTRL and then v and m in sequence, without
releasing the CTRL key. This, one liner would remove ^M from

for financial support to help the project ticking. According to Harald, the
current server -Aleph, is dying. He says that he has put together a new server
at an approximate cost of USD 822, EUR 615. The resulting host is called
"gimel". He further asks the Linux Counter user community for help to cover this
cost and that thank-you notes for money received will be added to the accounting

Hi All,
So Microsoft is about to launch a stripped down version of XP with Hindi
capabilities. This is supposed to cost slightly lower than the original version
(you can read this news at: http://in.news.yahoo.com/050315/43/2k71t.html)
But the point is a stripped down version, for which people will have to pay a
price will do what. What is MS trying to achieve by this. Is it a move to tackle
piracy, which can't be tackeled like this, or to crub the growing threat from
Linux awareness and acceptance as a full blown desktop OS in India. I personally
think, this will do no good to MS and its products in any ways. At least these
two objectives, if they have these on their agenda, will be hardly addressed.
Moreover, stripping down an already defecient OS will probably make it more
vulnerable to security breaches and scores of other unforseeable problems.

Please sign this petition if you agree with it... it's an attempt to convince a
prominent technological university in Bangalore (VTU) to be opened to the use
of Free Software too.
http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/?VTU-FLOSS_Campaign
Krishna Pagadala, San Jose, USA. I have benefitted highly from the Free
Software movement and the Freedoms it has provided. Specifically the Freedom to
learn from the source code has helped me in getting a high-technology job in
the US. I wish that all students enjoy the all the Software Freedoms.
Pramode C.E, IC Software: I would like to add that there are efforts under way
to develop innovative hardware experimentation platforms using GNU/Linux to
improve the quality of Physics (as well as Engineering) education; and the best
part is that it's being done in India. Please visit
http://www.nsc.res.in/~elab/phoenix/ to know more about the `Phoenix Project'
being developed by Ajith Kumar at the Nuclear Science Centre, India. The wealth
of high quality tools and the open nature of the platform is of immense value
to young engineers and scientists raring to unleash their creativity; the
lessons in freedom and sharing that students learn by using GNU/Linux will also
go a long way in shaping their character as caring and responsible human
beings.
ashidhar b desai ,6th sem E&C, B.V.Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering &
Technology Hubli,Karnataka,India ,FLOSS is an excellent alternative for the
existing commercial softwares..Academics(colleges and univ) is the best way to
promote and support "Free Software".It will be a great initiative if the univ
adopts it(it will become an example for other univ & institutes). News about
open source and gnu/linux stuff---Indian Inside . Lets get Liberated.LONG LIVE
OPEN SOURCE.
Praveen Arimbrathodiyil (National Instititute of Technology, Calicut) Fri Mar
11 17:34:50 IST 2005 We use GNU/Linux in our main Computer center. It saves a
lot of money of the college as there is no licence fee to be paid for each
users. Since the source code of the softwares are available many computer
science students do projects based on Linux kernel and other such projects. The
possibility of use of thin-clients (which our computer center use) reduces the
cost of hardware dramatically. It has proved to be beneficial to our college
and I urge you to chose Free Software for giving a better alternative for
students.
Debapriyo Sarkar. Final year student of BCA, Goa. As a student, I plead to
every university, to adopt, encourage and spread the use of Free/Libre Open
Source Software (FLOSS). The benefits are clearly far-more significant than
cost savings (which of course is a huge motivating factor). The quality of
software reviewed and worked on by virtually the entire developer community of
the world is definitely at least world-class if nothing else. It is possible to
save on costs with $0 priced closed source software often termed as freeware,
but the limited resources of the single developer or the couple of developers
behind the software makes future of such software bleak. Compared to that,
software released under an open source license, helps user as well as developer
involvement to happen as deeply and transparent as no other licensing model can
support. As the letter includes the following (stripped) statement "...Octave,
which is simulation software written by University professors. This usually
comes with the GNU/Linux Operating System." which clearly shows that professors
of universities elsewhere have contributed to the solution of making quality
software available to the students and colleges alike under a license that
welcomes further contributions to improve the project virtually endlessly. As a
personal experience, I often have used open source alternatives whenever
acquiring the proprietary packages meant depending on the lab assistant to
provide the CD for illegal copying or genuinely going out and shelling out all
those huge wads of cash for functionality that was already at my disposal with
added advantage of continuing development and a long-life (of the software). As
universities use and recommend use of open source software,rate of development
is bound to grow with more and more students using the same version of software
both at college and home (no limited cheap "student" edition which are "cheap"
imitations with myriad "limitations"). Also professors' contributions in the
form of bug reports, bug fixes, new functionality patches and their work in
increasing awareness about the benefits of using open source software would
help improve quality of free software to an enormous extent.
Vijay Kumar, Chennai, India. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/schools.html
.P.Sujeevan,Project leader, S2S2, Kerala .Here at kerala at school level more
than 50 of schools are still using GNU/Linux.Also SSLC IT practical examination

to implement complete linux environment in schools.http://s2s2net.netfirms.com

There is a remote machine with telnet client.
An embedded system running linux with telnet enabled
executes a boot script.
In this it waits for some time for a telnet
connection
from a remote telnet client on the network. Is there
some way to notify the remote machine that it is

Hi!
Really nice analysis of the post! I like it. I think most of the
things are in place
already, except for a few.
Among these few are regular meetings and a kin to it --- the bulletin board.
As Tarun said, we have members all over. So local meetings are something that
could easily be worked out and I know when Tarun is back home, he will
definitely
put these things into place. And I am sure, gathering of most of the
members (if not all)
can be done on some special occasions like the day LUG was established. I know
I had a great time in Jodhpur back then. People are really nice.
This is something that Tarun can look after. What I am more concerned about is
the working of our bulletin board. That would indeed channelize our discussions.
Instead of stacks of messages, there could be something that has proper
channels. I dont know whats the status of the board but I will now try
to revive it.
Tarun, we have so many enthusiasts around. Lets put life in it!
Let me search for my earlier mails and figure out what can be done. I
know I have Tarun, Harpreet and other members to help in it.
Thanks and regards

Also, read articles from Linux Journal's March issue.
Other highlights of the January issue includes:
------------------------------------------------
LFY CD #1
This CD has a versatile collection of software of every type that will
help you work
hard and have fun on your Linux environment.
LFY CD #2
EduMorphix: A GNU/Linux LiveCD distro that can be very useful for
those involved with
education.
Why do we have two versions of Linux For You now?
-------------------------------------------------
Linux For You was conceived with the aim of pushing Linux from labs to
offices. To
achieve this goal, we realised that we needed to reduce the pricing of
the main magazine
so that those who were not technical but curious about Linux/OSS could
access the
information. Hence, LINUX For You's main magazine was created as a
magazine for everyone
to read.
At the same time, the demand from the tech community was clear -- they
needed technical
content along with CDs that bundled the latest software and distros.
Hence, the combined
pack of LINUX For You and LFY PRO and 2 CDs are now available at Rs 100!
For more details about LINUX For You magazine, log on to
www.linuxforu.com or email at
niraj@....
This communication aims to inform the Linux community about the
information contained in
Asia's only magazine on Linux and open source, and we hope that it
will be taken
positively.

First of all Thanks Frederick for such an amazing article "Recipe for a
Successful Linux User Group"
I think it is a complete cook-book :-)
Thanks Harpreet for the mail and your fine analysis of our group's activities
based on the the above mentioned article. I am really glad that you took time.
And frankly that's what is needed. Your observations are correct. Let me also do
some more analysis and address your concerns:

Meetings and networking across the group are very important. And that is one
thing we have yet to bring into a momentum. We have had some isolated meetings
of group members in the past but I won't call these proper organized meetings
except the 1st Anniversary party that we had organized last year. It was
attended by a good strength of members and we had a lot of discussions on so
many things (you can still see the pictures of that occassion on SunnyLUG
geocities site). Himanshu took time out from his busy schedule and travelled all
the way from Jaipur to attend. We had decided to have reglar meetings. I should
say it is rather me who could not get the physical meetings organized because I
am currently in England. And wil only return back in August. And I would be glad
if some one can take lead and organize the meetings till I return back. However,
I all other things (except the meetings part) have been moving smoothly.
Himanshu's help has been instrumental all through. The membership has crossed
the 125 mark, out of which 99 are active (these figures are based on membership
for mailing list). I am answering queries from people who want to join the group
as well as pursuing potential members on almost a daily basis. But a group means
a team and we need team spirit and a very active participation from at least
local members to get the meetings successful. Whe I am around we can use
facilities from AFRI, ad I shoule be able to get permission form our Director
and can organize meetings. So the problem of venue should solve. And I think
that will surely work out. The other thing that I would like to point out is
that we have a fairly huge membership of people from outside Jodhpur. It is very
good and makes SunnyLUG so enriched by expertise from all over. SunnyLUG though
is a LUG for Jodhpur but the philosophy here is to be a wide open group for
anyone interested from around the globe to be an integral part of it. We already
have members from not just different parts of India but around the world. And I
feel that surely is an asset. In todays world, geographical boundaries do not
pose a limitation, which is good.

Thanks for volunteering. You are always welcome to contribute. The
geocities.com/sunnylug site is going well, getting good traffic. And the website
is regularly updated as well. However, the plans to revamp and relaunch it are
in the offing. In fact a forum section has been initiated but have not been made
public yet as it needs more testing. Once that is taken care of, member
interaction will become much more organized and logical.
I appeal all the members to contribute and be active in discussions on the
mailing list and come out with suggestions. I see a very near future when we
will be holding regular meetings of at least local members.

Hi Himanshu,
That's sounds just superb. I congratulate on your efforts. I remember your
earlier XMMS pluggin concerns. And this I feel is the best way to crub the
commercial minded windoish behavior creeping slowly into the Linux arena,
spoiling the essence of OSI.
I have yet to try this soon. Just too tied up with my work. As soon as I get the
first opportunity, I want to give it a go.
All the best with this project of yours. Way to go man.

Hi members
My first first-hand experience with Linux was in Nov 2003 .... and i developed and instant liking towards Linux and the Open Source Philosophy.
Then it was great to find our own LUG (before that it was hard for me to believe that anyone uses Linux in our Suncity)
Its great to be a part of it (though i'am now feeling guilty of not making any contributions here)
I am pleased to inform that Linux is growing ,atleast according to the trends i have seen in my college .... now more and more people want to atleast give Linux a try and have installed Linux on there PC (i know coz i made most of the installations)
I wish our LUG to be a real sucess now coz that fill aid in futher promotion of GNU/Linux
i think we should address the points given in the mail "Recipe for a Successful Linux User Group"
Recipe for a Successful Linux User Group
by Rick Moen
1. You need a Web page.
We have one
2. Your Web page needs a reasonable URL.
No probs
3. You need a regular meeting location.
4. You need a regular meeting time.
5. You need to avoid meeting-time conflicts.
Some time back i saw an old poll on the yahoo-group regarding montly meeting of LUG. Had there been any meetings in the past and was it a regular feature?? Why were they discontinued?? Shouldn't we revive it??
I agree many people here are busy people with office work n stuff ...but we all can find out some time ...maybe once a month or once in two months . I believe that would be great .
6. You need to make sure that meetings happen as advertised, without fail.
We can do that ..jodhpur not a big city ..then we have yahoo group to mail
7. You need a core of several Linux enthusiasts.
we have atleast a few and can look forward to getting more in future
8. Your core volunteers need out-of-band methods of communication.
that can be taken care of
9. You need to get on the main lists of LUGs, and keep your entries accurate.
i'am not sure about that ..... are we there , moderators ??
10. You must have login access to maintain your Web pages, as needed.
11. Design your Web page to be forgiving of deferred maintenance.
12. Always include the day of the week, when you cite event dates. Always check that day of the week, first, using gcal [2] (or cal). gcal is your friend.
13. Place time-sensitive and key information prominently near the top of your main Web page.
14. Include maps and directions to your events.
15. Emphasise on your main page that your meeting will be free of charge and open to the public (if it is).
16. You'll want to include an RSVP "mailto" hyperlink, on some events.
17. Use referral pages.
18. Make sure every page has a revision date and maintainer link.
19. Check all links, at intervals.
we can take care of the website ..... I would love to volunteer if the moderators wish or need
20. You may want to consider establishing a LUG mailing list.
yahoo-group is there ..working fine
21. You don't need to be in the Internet Service Provider business.
we aren't
22. Don't go into any other business, either.
23. Walk the walk.
okiez
wat say ppl .... lets get together and contribute in our own way..........

Hi all!
Hmmm... Tarun I hadn't been around and couldn't just see what
was happening. Anything major?
Well, I had this thing in mind and had actually posted earlier
regarding this. I had been busy with some really important
projects at office and after my studies at home, I finally managed
to spare sometime for it. I had earlier mentioned that I was around
some site (mmm..I don't remember see! May be it was xmms.) and found
that there was some cool audio effect. And what I found was, it was
limited days version. I was shocked. So I thought why not give it a
try and try to make some nice effects ourselves which should be
free!(as in freedom).
I can say I am out with very first and messy version of an echo effect.
I have done this in 2 days and 1 hours each (i.e. 2 hours work) and
it has not many features. It is not well organized even! But it works.
One more thing... I will soon be out with other version which will be
well organized and well thought of. This has to change fundamentally!
But for now I am busy with FFT thing.
Currently, it works fine on 16-bit quantized MONO wave files. Please try
it out.
Thanks.
Waiting for your flames and comments ;-)
