Dear Readers,

First off, on behalf of the whole team of LINUX For You, here's
wishing a very happy Dussehra and Diwali to the whole community.

This month, LINUX For You has bundled another 'hugely-requested'
distro DVD with it - CentOS 4.4 - which many believe is the closest
one can get to RHEL for free.

On the editorial front, we have a mega story on the trends in Linux
and open source usage in the mighty Banking, Financial Services and
Insurance (BFSI) sector of the Indian industry. Along with this, we
have our regular hardware focus on 'Linux Laptops' and software focus
on Linux based High Performance Computing Solutions.

Under the opinions section, this month, the community opines on how
India can develop a community of open source developers and thus
become a 'net-giver' to the open source world. Also, in the 'Down
Memory Lane' series, we look at the history of the GNOME project.
