Hi guys, Earlier I had posted a message about display of Linux in Compex 2000, which was held in Nagpur. So the show is finally over, here are the results. In the show we ( I along with a leading hardware dealer of Nagpur) had a linux server running samba, mars_nwe, mail, web, servers. On one of the client was win95 using the services of NT, and another was dos based NetWare client connected to main server. E mails were flying between all the machines and Web server was serving perl/ cgi-bin scripts. It was a fantastic show and many people could not believe it. Following observation were made from the peoples view. 1. Linux is the only solution to nascom threat against using pirated software. 2. Linux needs a good accounting software for Indian user. 3. Hardly 1 % people asked What is Linux? rest 99% already knew it. 4. The credit for 99 % goes to pcq, chip, and pcw. 5. Many people complained that linux is bogus with reference to pcw and chip. 6. In general it was a trend that linux is difficult to installed. We received number of order for preinstalled desk top and server machine. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER- The point 1 to 6 are purely peoples view and I may or may not agree to it. This is to avoid a magazine war on the list. Best Regards, M.S.Deshmukh, Director. Beta Computers Pvt.
