did give chmod a+fwd perms for my piece.

its vanilla Sagar. "g" isnt absolutely required and i would not be offended
if it was eliminated while referring to me (unlike names which create
controversies of single "l" or double "ll" ...*ducking* and *hiding* ...)
i suddenly realise that some of my statements were a lil slanderous :-)
donno if they can do anything abt it tho ...i mean IANAL either, but what
fhe tuck ....

thats again a technically correct and well meaning statement, but could
mislead. Linux (kernel) is free. But when you say os, its automatically
assumed that its kernel+goodies . Tho most goodies are free (if you have the
bandwidth), it makes more sense to buy a distro. (YMMV).

Hell hath no wrath like a penguin scorned !
and they (aryabhat blokes) actually refer to tux as peggy ......well ..what
did u expect me to feel about the gender change ?? i mean ..anger was one
of the multiple emotions i was going thru !!
Cheerio,
