Speaking of failures, I've seen many of my peers who do not attempt free software, or even something more challenging or different than what they are currently doing solely because of the fear that it is beyond them and that they would fail. Failure would mean they would be laughed at and their high college rank and prestige will be tarnished. So the best way out is to not try and simply claim that it is too childish, hippyish, useless, etc. But this is probably not an Indian outlook -- must be a global problem right? -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
