Folks, There are genuine reasons to create a linux system, whether for the purpose of distribution or not. For instance, some of my friends got into linux-from-scratch because of a requirement they had to run a linux system on a freshly taped-out x86 chip.
Recently I came across this link, a literally cool computer ! http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs Having a good horsepower computer at this price and power point opens up new possibilities / opportunities. Now, if only we have a community / team to pull out a linux system on the said platform, commercial or otherwise, it is quite possible to realize ideas that can benefit a large number of students, children and others. Even otherwise, it is good to have such know how at least as a hobby work. 1. Contributing to one of the main-stream community is obviously the best thing to do. But I am of the opinion that, if the community is physically in-accessible one cannot go much farther. 2. To inspire people shouldn't we need inspiring ideas. Is it possible to inspire a student, let alone a community, by writing glue logic. my 2 cents, _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
