[ilugd] Digital Signatures vs PGP
Could some one enlighten me on the fundamental differences betweenn PGP and Digital Signatures obtained through a CA. Yes I know that CA is not required under PGP, that it is a Web of Trust Model and that it does not enjoy a legal weight in India at least. What I want to know is the differences in algorithms and relative advantages disadvantages. Can I import Public Keys of person whos his public keys from a CA into a PGP tool? How do I install a keyserver on my LAN??

[ilugd] Planning a maiden Linux setup
This issue has been discussed many a times at various fora, but would like to refresh just before attempting one. I am planning to setup a large, maiden linux desktop installation in a Windows Centric Environment. Hard realities at ground (1) 99% users will be first timers, many may not have heard of it before!! (2) Lack of trained support staff, learn by burning your hands, looks like to be the fact of day. Parameters 1. Single sign on to be achieved with Win2K3-SP1 Active Directory Servers: Samba 3.0.20 is the solution in this case, which only FC4 provides as a pre-built binary. 2. It is being planned that Desktops will reach end-user stations ready with Linux Partitions. I feel that proposed Linux installation preferably use http method of installtion along with a kick-start file. 3. With my prior experience, tend to prefer FC. But would like to use the updated un-official FC4 distro. 4. Would have to setup a local LAN based repository, so that it is easier to install updates. 5. The Windows partition is being already populated with Open Source programs viz: OpenOffice2.0, Firefox1.0.7, GAIM, GIMP, Dia, Planner etc to familiarise the users. Trainings on these programs is planned to be taken up progressively. 6. Also planning to setup a FreeNX sever. 7. Should support Hindi as one of the enabled languages. Require suggestions for setup, selection of appropirate distro, and deployment strategy. Experiences in such environment are welcome.

Re: [ilugd] Enquiry about linux
Finally it appears that it is just possible to have as many Linux Distributions as groups of people who think this is the right thing for them. You will agree that your right is not my right. The group's strength here depends on the degree of consensus of what is right. These are more of ethical principles of what is right. There can be no law on it. ILUGD as a group stresses and emphasises the virtues and philosophy behind the F/LOSS movement. It certainly can be hoped that each member understands which product stands up to that principles and which one does not. After that, it is individuals choice and the circumstances which make him take the appropirate decision. Remember FLOSS stresses Freedom of Choice.

[ilugd] DTP with Unicode Data
Having adopted Unicode based word-processors for Hindi (MS Office XP and Open Office 1.1.1), we have lots of data getting generated in Hindi. The problem is when some of the users want this to be sent to a publisher for getting it published as a book. First of all, none in the market are having systems who can read our .doc files with Unicode Hindi in it. Secondly, these guys import these .doc files to Pagemaker and generate a Postscript file after due editing of layouts etc. Incidentally, Pagemaker does not support OpenType fonts. I think Adobe is pushing Illustrator for this, and mo st publishers do not have experience on this. I thought of doing all the layout work ourselves and generating a Postscript file to press for final publications. But I ran into problems, not finding proper tools to generate Postscript from Unicode data files. Any one willing to share experience on this?? How about Scribus and Inkscape??

1. I can offer my monitor. I stay at Faridabad. 2. I have IndLinux CD with Hindi and other languages interface. I am not in a position to commit a time schedule though I will be visiting the event sometime. In case we feel somebody can do demos and distribute CDs, I can arrage to have about 10 CDs of the same.

RE: [ilugd] Re: python perl programming. thanks!
I recall a dicussion which I started on the subject I want to learn a new programming language: Which one? in late March 2003, on ilugd, (Unfortunately not on archives). I had Perl in mind when I framed those questions. But this article and my own convictions and study of similar questions at other forums, I decided to move to Python. Though on personal front I have been highly pre-occupied, I have kept a slow pace of study on Python, and I find it fairly easy to pick up. I have also collected some useful learning resources on Python, and putting to a CD. I hope some day I can distribute and discuss such a CD, as an ilugd resource. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote Quote: In the beginning of your technical career, it takes an effort to learn and understand a programming language but as you go along, language syntax (and programming) takes the back seat and design (and testing) carry majority of the load. Unquote: This is exactly where Python has gained a big ground.It is a very popular as a prototyping language. Designers use it to design a prototype system, independent of performance considerations.Then leave it to the implementor, who has a much better clarity of what is required of him, and then implements it with the language / component appropirate. Microsoft Merchant Server v1.0 was in Python and moved to C++ by v3.0 Quote: Picking a programming language to learn is important and so, pick a language that you think you are going to use in foreseeable future. If you are not sure which one you will be using, pick the one that is most popular and more important, most easy to use. Trying to learn a language that claims to be extremely powerful, flexible, structured, etc. etc. will not help if you end up spending countless hours figuring out what its few lines of code mean. Not only will you feel intimidated by the language, it is very likely that you will end up losing interest in the programming itself. Unquote: Those guiding principles are taking most new learners to Visual Basic, and most people end up designing good screens and simple Classroom apps. Python introduces better programming concepts such as Lists, Tuples, Dictionary etc before you can do something serious with Python. I do'nt say that they are not present in other languages, but most VB learners do'nt do it. In fact I am still looking for a good Visual Basic vs Python study, and I am not interested in the freedom debate, but strict Language Comparisons. There is one at http://www.jvoegele.com/software/langcomp.html Quote: And if you are already passed that stage, and feel comfortable with couple of programming languages already, it should be of least concern what programming language to learn next since the basic drill is pretty much the same - pick up a book, write test programs, get onto the mailing list and voila! My professor once said - If you know one programming language well, you can claim to know them all. Unquote: Thats generally right. But most people who did not have an opportunity to do anything after a BASIC / FORTRAN / COBOL course in the University / College, are totally lost at new Object Oriented Programming Languages. There was no GUI Programming or Event based Programming in a GUI environment as we know now, and no Web/Internet programming as is frequently required these days. Python helps people of older generation to pickup from something they learnt in a Non-commercial Environment, and move on to modern concepts as per their convenience. Indirectly, can a 10 line program which a student did in GWBASIC can work as it is in Visual Basic?? The common word BASIC in the two, prompts one to think so. Whereas it is more likely to run between GWBASIC/QBASIC/YABASIC/...on any platform!! One more comment; We have moved from a Standard Languages (ANSI/ISO/..) to Proprietary/ Quasi-Proprietary languages. In some way, Python being Open Source and Cross Platform, brings the advantage of learning a Standard Language, and still be employable on any platform. No wonder, many American Schools and Colleges have moved to Python as a first programming language, after doing Pascal- C - C++ in previous years. One other winning factor: Python is a glue language. It glues into existing systems and projects. So someone can do a Python in between a Perl / Win32 COM / C++ / Java based project!!
