Herald,
      You got me right. I was the one who distributed CD's of IBM in the LUG meeting. Prof. Durga sir and you are really doing a good work.  We hope to see it translate into usage by some schools in Hyderabad. You may share if any schools have started using them in Hyderabad, which we can use as a reference for other schools. I remember you sharing with us about some school in other state.

I checked the drawings of tuxpaint, they are just too good. Especially the last one in which penguins trying to hit the pot was very good! It should be a lot of interest generating for the school children.

As I have noted Prof. Durga sir's number, I shall give you a call sometime.


Simons,
      I am even impressed by the way you are working towards making Linux as a preferred choice with lots of applications installed than windows.
      The scripts that you are ready to share will really be helpful for the guys who would want to implement the LTSP.

And lastly as I prefer to hear people use Linux not by mere OpenSource philosophy, but by its power. That was the reason I started using it in '98-'99 and been working to advocate its usage.

Thanks
Pradeep
