@Tanay: Can you just delete everything else first and then just post your reply? Don't know if that's easy on a phone. Repeating what others have already stated. The problem would be that most customers may have files in easily renderable/open-able formats on Linux and they'll get inferior prints that way. As of now, you can't convince everybody to use Linux in a hostel. Just like there are staunch FOSS supporters there, there are also staunch non-FOSS supporters. Also, most of the times I've seen them running some very old hardware PC (cost-effective). Only some version of linux which has minimal (CPU/memory) requirements would work. You can't install an old version and expect them to be happy with it. They won't be. Ubuntu 10.10 might be an easy desktop OS replacement but a lot has evolved from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 10.10. My 2 cents.. SB -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
