[snip] "Taking a call" was not meant to refer to the choice of the OS by the user here, but I was refering to Linux Lingam's statement that ILUG-D has to take a call whether this is against ILUG-D's principle or not. I, of course, completely agree and support all your comments about free software and this being completely appropriate as this was a "Software Freedom Day" and not a linux day (Had mentioned the same in my earlier email as well repetitively). Rest of the 2 questions were for my curiosity, that was it for some technical reason or just like that... -Shantz
