"Fast track to Linux" by DIGIT (M.Balakrishna Pillai) From: M.Balakrishna Pillai <mbpillai at asianetindia.com> To: This List discusses GNU/Linux & GNU, GPL Software <Mailinglist at ilug-cochin.org> Subject: [Mailinglist] "Fast track to Linux" by DIGIT Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2006 12:29:49 +0530 hi all The book "Fast Track to Linux" by DIGIT contains wrong information about free softwares (page 15) and RMS (page 16). A free, but not open source, software can only be used, but cannot be modified-or for that matter dissected to see how it works. (Page 15) No discussion on open source or free software is complete without the mention of Ricahard Stallman, the founder of GNU project, who has written numerous books and white papers on open source. (page 16) Should we request Jasubhai Digit Media to rectify this, if so how ? My opinion: Request them to publish contents of http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html and http://www.slackbook.org/html/introduction-opensource.html in the comming issue With regards M.Balakrishna Pillai _______________________________________________ Mailinglist mailing list Mailinglist at ilug-cochin.org http://ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org Zaheer M K GNU/Linux user #351122 Registered at http://counter.li.org -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
