You are using wrong terms. "Linux" is not an Operating System. The name of the Operating System is GNU and it is pronounced as one syllable with a hard g, like "grew" but with n instead of r.

So, is there a way for network installation? You could contact JJ(944-711-1771) and Sameer(999-571-7112), who could help you to organize this. > It is my understanding that this group stands to promote the use of Linux > OS among people. Again, the term "Linux OS" is wrong. The Linux Kernel(GPLv2), which is the central part of the GNU Operating System, is one of the many Free Software that ILUG-Cochin promotes.
