But they are not using it for all their use.So If anyone providing a shop for these then it will be a helpful for them and more people will be attracted to this! And some of them said that their is any shop providing this then it will be useful to them,so only I got an idea to start a shop. Without seeing or hearing about linux no one will be using linux.@ Mahesh do you remember,If you don't give that mint6 CD to me that day then I may not be using it and may not be in this group or in any other foss groups!!!.So let us try to have a change... I too request every others of this group to give me more ideas. With hope, Raru Rv +91 9633 9217 44 -- "Freedom is the only law".
