Namshkar,
Sorry Indrada, to learn about your flu. Gather up courage, you are a
Penguin and that too an esteemed one in our club ( no flattering meant
). Penguins flip their flippers in Antartic and a bit of flu can't
cower them. Its good to know from you that the Linux community in WB is
growing. Can you suggest how I can contribute to this club ? Am I
already a member of this club by subscribing to the mailing list ? Also
please do let me know how and where the penguins meet and discuss
things .....
Hoping that you will answer all the queries I have.
-- three cheers for LINUX,
Raja.
