I will search with my colligues and let you know if there is a good
alternative for rational rows.
Meanwhile you can also download Allrounder GNU/Linux from
www.gnukhata.org/public/iso.
It contains every thing right from office till programming tools.
Just to give you an idea, scylab, eclipse, bluefish, Open Jdk and many
other things were added by your's truely for making lab setup for
engineers a better experience.
Do let me know if you need any other help.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
PS:
We now also have GNUKhata, www.gnukhata.org as a total replacement to
proprietary accounting software.

Dear Krishnakant,
Thanks for your encouraging mail. Greetings to Prof. Shitole.
In 2007, I was at IIT Kanpur as part of BOS(CS,IT &MCA) of UPTU and we
shifted CS,IT final year labs to 100% FOSS. That syllabus was active
till 2011 but still they have not changed the syllabus of labs. I hope
the vigilant institutes followed our course instructions.
I was HOD-IT of my college and my faculty members showed the maximum
resistance when I tried to replace their Turbo C++ with gcc. I felt
the difference between de jure and de facto.
5 years later, I have a chairman who wants maximum possible removal of
non-FOSS. We have the standard labs which every college has. As you
suggested, I'll surely select PostgreSQL and netbeans for respective
labs. Can we replace Rational Rose with something FOSS? We tried
doxygen long back in 2009. No comments on that experience :)
