You don't need to be an astrologer Raj. Linux is the future in computing
because it is ot just an OS, it is a movement, it is an idea that
propels life towards the future. It comes from that force of the
positive thinking which thinks and works for the whole of humanity and
not runs for a stupid IPR just to earn money. It is that thinkig which
acknowledges that knowledge belongs to public domain and is not the
property of any individual. People with great ideas have always
acknowledged that they could think of "all this" because of what so many
people have already done in the world and brought the "human thinking"
to this current level where one can learn further. Imagine if each one
of had to invent wheel or fire......the list is too long. But I think
the point is clear.
That is why, I said earlier in a mail, "it is easy to criticise, but
difficult to do something for the common interest".
By the way, if you study Astrology (only after you have done everything
you want about/with Linux), I will send you my dats of birth, because
you will write in great language and style.
