[ilugd] Delhi company apparently contributing to madwifi code
Just a note in passing. The latest madwifi driver source (used by atheros chipsets) had: URL: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-madwifi/?sc=1&rev=359 Log: * New upstream SVN snapshot. - new HAl version 2008-08-15 produced in co-operative effort by OpenWrt.org, DD-WRT and MakSat Technologies (P) Ltd. That's cool. Maksat are in Okhla and do WAN routers. Looks like the times they are are a-changing in Delhi too. PJ PS: I hope they aren't contaminated by the controversy around dd-wrt's approach to source code (accusation: http://www.bitsum.com/about-ddwrt.htm , sort of response: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7309&postdays \ =0&postorder=asc&start=0) ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] [XPost] Why I think Foss.in/2008 is missing its target..
With his his 'Omelette Post' about FOSS.IN/2008 Call for Participation, Atul Chitnis, the FOSS.IN team 'leader' indeed sent an strong sign. For those who aren't aware of it, FOSS.IN is the longstanding major FLOSS event in India and, still (just like our beloved Debconf) only run by volunteers. Last year, along with Sam Hocevar, I had the chance to attend the event and share the groove of that big, huge, conference, with over 2,000 participants. Some other Debian fellows also made it in the past (Jaldhar, Bdale...). http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2008/10/04#foss-in -- --Dinesh Shah :-) Shah Micro System +91-98213-11906 Milton Berle - "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
[ilugd] Interesting Article... Few comments there should go a long way
Which Business Desktop OS? Windows or Linux Microsoft Windows has been the ideal choice for the desktop because of its simplicity, ease of use, good application and hardware support and also because it's easy to pirate. Over the years we've also seen the emergence of Linux as the new desktop OS platform with operating systems like Ubuntu, Fedora, Linspire and SLED gaining acceptance. This new acceptance of these Linux flavors is because Linux is no longer the command line OS as it was perceived earlier. All these flavors come equipped with user-friendly features and they're also easy to use. Many businesses tend to shift from Windows to Linux based on preconceived notions and assumptions. http://www.enterpriser.in/India/Learning_Curve/Which_Business_Desktop_OS_Windows_or_Linux/551-93811-443.html?source=enterpriser_dl&[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --Dinesh Shah :-) Shah Micro System +91-98213-11906 J.
