@Dinesh , Better to ask, what are the problems in FOSS adaptations.
Adaptation of Linux is not fast and not up to the expectations. My
observations are not good....
1) Linux and FOSS are not much popular..
### I will love to put up posters at Nehru Place, provided somebody
volunteer for design.
### Documentary movies on TV or radios show can help to encourage Linux
users.
### Why not our articles in paper or media ? I do not have any media
contacts !!
### When you talk about users.. Always keep in mind.. they want comfort and
not knowledge . Most of students are users too.
### Workshops for teacher/college prof will be very useful.
### There is a bootable Live Linux Gamer DVD, distributing them will make
some more awareness.
2) Slow Internet.
## Its almost impossible to use/update/configure Linux without Internet.
This is a major hurdle in foss adaptation.
## Putting rpm into bundle (one of the previous mail to make 'bad Linux" for
users who do not have Internet) can solve this problems
3) Students
### Only so called Techie students from CS use Linux. Student life is very
fast. They are need to do many task in time bound competing environment.
Extra effort to learn Linux and then use linux is major hurdle for Linux and
foss adaptation. a small fraction of students use Linux.
### companies which are working in foss domain, should call for project
guidance for BE projects. By This way, students will start contributing in
foss projects.
### There should be separate courses for FOSS in syllabus itself
btw. In my company, only developer use to work in Linux,(redhat older
version). All other {except coder } use Windows. Still the communication is
on the *.doc* and *.xls* format which disappoint me very much. however there
is a LUG formation in company itself which will help in future for adopting
open standards.
Thanks
