Hello All,

Greetings from the LINUX For You magazine team!

As you all know, we run a section called 'Opinions' in LFY where we
pose a question to the community and industry and publish the top five
responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine. Thanks
to all those who responded to the last month's question. The best
among the responses received have been published in the November 2006
issue of LFY.

The forthcoming issue of LFY would carry a story on LUGs. The article
would focus on what constitutes a perfect LUG. We want to pick up the
best practices that every LUG should carry out to evolve into an ideal
and perfect LUG. This would not just ensure scope for improvement for
the LUGs by getting a direct feedback from the community itself, but
would also help others to understand the value of LUGs better.

We value your suggestions and comments. So, any idea you would like to
share with us is most welcome.
Please write to us at sujata.banerjee@... with a CC to
atul@..., before 10th November,2006.

The top five responses will be published in the December 2006 issue of
LINUX for You.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Sujata Banerjee, Editorial Coordinator, LFY
Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY

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.

FOR YOU & ME

I have printer on RH9, which is shared by other RH9, working fine.
When I try to confiure this printer from Debian/Ubuntu using CUPS, it
does not work.

Jobs remain "paused".

Message I got is:

Please help me use this printer on Debian or ubuntu.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I would like to bring a GPL opensource program I wrote under attention
of the The Northern Linux.
It is called 'MultiTail'.
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program.
The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with
ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard
has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file.
That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of
2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the
logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is
important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular
expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and
deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell
scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software,
MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.

I installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS from Live CD on Compaq Presario V3000
(V3018TU). Its graphic card is "Intel PCCI Mobile Integrated Graphic
Controllr" is Ubuntu uses driver i810. I
could not divert Video through LCD projector. Rebooting after
connecting Projector makes no difference. fn-f4 also not work. Can not
say its behaviour on MicroSoft windows, as Laptop is inslatted with
Linux Only.

May, I get some tip or clue, how to do make Projector to work with
this Laptop.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Readers,

First off, let me thank our readers for the tremendous response to the
July 2006 issue and the Debian 3.1 DVD bundled with it.

Encouraged by the kind of response that our DVDs are generating every
month, we have bundled yet another great distro with the August issue
- Knoppix 5.0.1. A true marvel of German engineering, Knoppix 5.0.1 is
simply brilliant. One of the most popular live Linux distros
available, its versatile nature has made it the distro of choice for
many users around the world.

On the editorial front, we have an interview with the technology head
of Naukri.com - Vibhore Sharma - who describes the extent of Linux
usage in their ever increasing IT setup. Also, in our trends section,
we take a look at the extent of Linux usage in educational institutions.

The topic for CommunitySpeak this month is "What would make a Windows
user pick up a Linux magazine?" and "What would make a Windows user
adopt Linux instead?" Also, in the 'Down Memory Lane' series, we look
at the history of Knoppix.

Hello all,

Greetings from the Linux For You magazine team!

As you all know, two months ago we launched a new initiative called
CommunitySpeak where we pose a question to various ILUG mailing lists
and publish the top five responses (selected by our technical editors)
in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to last month's
question. The best among the responses received are to be published in
the August 2006 issue of LFY. We have contacted the chosen respondents
off-list.

This month we have chosen the topic: "What does one gain from
participating in an open source project that he/she does not gain from
a regular work environment?"

What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are
waiting to listen to your ideas. Please write to us at
writetojanani@... with a CC to atul.goel@..., before
5th August 2006.

The top five responses will be published in the September 2006 issue
of Linux for You.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Janani Gopalakrishnan, Freelance Writer
Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY

P.S: We have not tagged this as commercial as we feel that there is no
business angle involved in this communication. But if you feel that it
should be tagged please let us know so that we can do it from the next
time.

Can someone suggest Linux friendly LapTop avilable in maket
now a day.  The budget is about Rs. 48,000/- and
distributions, which may be used are Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Readers,

First off, we would like to thank our readers for an overwhelming
response to the June 2006 issue of LINUX For You.

The monsoon season brings with it a gift that we are sure most of our
readers were eagerly awaiting. For the third month in succession, LFY
has bundled a DVD, and that too, a distro that had virtually become
the 'numero uno request' on our readers' wish list - Debian Linux 3.1.
Check it out and do send us your feedback.

On the editorial front, we have a great article on the tuXlabs project
which is a partnership between the Shuttleworth Foundation and South
African schools to setup self-sustainable computer centres in South
African schools using open source. We have also included a resource
manual - the tuXlabs Cookbook - in this month's LFY CD that serves as
a recipe for setting up a tuXlab and explains formal processes like
education, application, installation, support and training that define
the tuXlabs model. We hope that this article and the cookbook will
serve as facilitators for the policy makers in our country to take
full advantage of open source in our education system.

Starting this month, a new column has been introduced called
CoomunitySpeak. Here, we take a topic and post it on various LUGs for
members to give their opinion on the same and the best 5 responses get
a place in the magazine. This month's topic is 'Why is it that a clear
majority of world's top ten supercomputers are powered by GNU/Linux?'
Also, in the 'Down Memory Lane' series, we look at the history of the
Firefox project.

Hello all,

Greetings from the Linux For You team!

As you all know, last month we launched a new initiative called
CommunitySpeak where we pose a question to various ILUG mailing lists
and publish the top five responses (selected by our technical editors)
in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to last month's
question on "why a majority of the world's top 10 supercomputers are
powered by Linux". The best five among the responses received are to
be published in the July 2006 issue of LFY.

The selected responses were sent by Vishnu Vyas (Chennai), S R Parthan
(Chennai), R Subramanian (Chennai), Manu Konchady (Bangalore) and P
Sriram (Chennai). Thanks again for your participation.

This month we have chosen the topic: "What would make a Windows user
pick up a Linux magazine?"

No, this is not a marketing tactic. We are *really* curious. What
would make Windows users pick up a Linux magazine? How can we convince
them to read about and adopt Linux and other free and open source
software? Would they be interested in reading about free business
software than run on Windows?

What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are
waiting to listen to your ideas. Please write to us at
writetojanani@... with a CC to atul.goel@... before
July 5th 2006.

The top five responses will be published in the August 2006 issue of
Linux for You.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

Janani Gopalakrishnan, Freelance Writer
Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY

OUR GOAL? To links all Free/Libre and Open Source Software

Dear Member of the LUG,

TuxHeroes are those individuals (or teams) that have successfully
handled the challenge of migrating their firm/institution to Open
Source/Linux environment.

LINUX For You magazine attempts to highlight the accomplishments of
these TuxHeroes with the help of a monthly feature dedicated to them.
In
the process, we'll also share the experience and knowledge gained by
TuxHeroes with the rest of us.

If you are one (or know someone)—send us the contact email-id. We'll
contact the heroes (and heroines), and request them to share their
experience with all of us.

To submit any info regarding TuxHeroes, send an email with subject
titled 'TuxHero is Here' to lfyedit@... with a Cc to
atul@.... We will revert with a few questions, request for a
couple of snaps, and make sure the heroes and heroines are given due
credit of their achievements.

FAQs about TuxHeroes can be viewed at
www.linuxforu.com/tuxhero/faq.htm

Regards!
Team LFY

The time has come for explaining the benefits of P2P beyond file sharing.

I would interprete P2P in many ways than just Peer-to-Peer.

Person-to-Person, People-to-People, Point-to-Point,
Professional-to-Professional, Poverty-to-Progress and so on.

Inviting Java Open Source Developers to consider joining in the
efforts for localization of Samooha to Indian languages like Hindi,
Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati and any other widely used local languages.

Please join the project at
http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=166451

The least one could do with Samooha is to use it as an accounting
software and extend it further to their needs. It is an ideal entry
level ERP.

Be part of world's first "networked Business Operating System" (TM)

It's time Indians contribute for Open Source Development. We are also
encouraging Technopreneur development with incubators in Universities
and BSchools. Samooha software market provides ample opportunities for
developers to deliver their vertical/task/mission specific utilities
online on Samooha Desktop.

Divided we loose. United we win.

Rajesh
