Although setting it up for external access has been a problem ( policy decision mainly, about external b/w consumption ), getting CDs from IITians at LUG meets shouldn't be a problem. The only problem we face is very little interaction with people outside of IIT ( call us lazy, or call us busy ;-( ) Can't attend tomorrow's meeting as well ( submission deadline ). Sameer, if you are going to the meeting, you could take some CDs? -- jaju -- _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
