hi, i am in free world! enjoying the freedom.
we have variety of os whichever we can choose to our wish. we dont need antivirus. we have secure os than other proprietary os. we have thousands of softwares to use that can be downloaded easily via internet. we have lots of forums and lots of mailing list to clear doubts and to rectify problem. Afterall we get atmost all the above at no cost. Then why people are not aware of open source/free software? why they are going for proprietary, people are using pirated softwares and os but why they aren't trying opensource. Even my college mates know about atleast what the term open source means,and they know about ubuntu as some labs are having ubuntu (installed ubuntu by lab admin due to inspection,as they were using pirated os before) but they are using the unsecure,pirated softwares only. I dont find anything missing in my system that is available in proprietary software. What's the problem... why popularity is not there.. why they are hesitating to come into free world Regards, Balaji Sivanath _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
