Mail from ILUG-BOM list (Non-Digest Mode) In response to Philip and Rohit's post. About three or four months ago these guys had advertised Linux training. I had contacted them since we wanted to get to speed on Linux. The course would cost is about Rs.8000/- per seat (less discounts). After speaking to Vishal and the trainer we thought that we were better off on our own. Vishal Gupta phoned me yesterday enquiring if we were interested in pre installed PCs with Linux. He said that they had solved all technical problems for the hardware and software (HAHA, I did not enquire on his latest kernel bug fix or security patch to zope). I enquired if he was aware of ILUG-BOM. He said he was not aware. I presume that Philip must have mentioned ILUG. Also claimed that they were "official distributors of Redhat, Suse, Caldera and others" (Hey Prakash whatsthis). Wanted to know what mail server I used and said that they have solutions for Mail servers. Pointed him to Sendmail, Qmail. Suggested that he join up ILUG. Apparently the guy is trying to sell OS software as his own. He wasn't explicit about service or OS. Also seems he has somthing to hide hence denial of knowing ILUG-BOM. I also seem to remember they had an empty stall at Bang Linux. Might be interesting to call him to the next LUG meet (incidentally he stays somwhere in Chembur). While wishing him success in his business I think we should also ensure that OS is not exploited and maligned just as it is getting into the main stream. Calling him to LUG should help. rgds [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
