I didn't really mean to say that Linux will be more secure etc. I was talking about educating them about Linux merely from the point of view that as members of LUG, can we use *this* opportunity to "get in"!? Especially after knowing the the truth behind Flynn baba, it's a nice opportunity to do something, and prevent something similar in the future at the hands of some really nasty crackers ( esp. from Pak ), which might be embarrasing ( and it *is* embarrasing to all Indians! ). Flynn baba and his gang will make sure we get embarassed at the hands of those who'd want to show the security of Indian web-sites is down in the dumps. BTW, how bad that CCI has so little expertise! -- jaju _______________________________________________ Meeting on 6th 4pm at IIT Mumbai.
