Hello, friends. Though I registered myself some 2
months ago, I never posted anything. Actually I came
to know about this group from one of my friend in
Kolkata. Not only this group I came to know about
Linux from him. Earlier I used to think Linux as
something very technical, but my friend made me
understand that it can be for me too. But as he is
more interested in the philosophy of open source (am
I
right? perhaps this and free were quite different)
things he referred me your group for the technical
details, and I became a member.
By profession I am a social data researcher ( no
research, it is mere survey work). Actually the job
involves, a lot of data collection, sometimes
analysis
and writing reports. So, a pirated version of XP
(both
windows and office) works fine for me. Now knowing
about Linux, I am a little hesitant to continue that
way. But following the discussions in this mailing
list I am not very sure whether this things are
meant
for me. The discussions on Book Fair has made me
place
my problems before the group.
I use Words, Excel, PowerPoint and Limdep. I have to
have Bengali to make presentations and
questionnaire.
May I shift to Linux totally?
And if I need to meet personally, is anyone
available
near Adi-saptagram?
Thanks,
Sandip
