GNU/Linux is free as in swantra to all and free as in beer to those who are ready to do the hardwork. Suggest that u do some essential reading before posting public comments like the above. U are ofcourse free to label whomsoever u please as ripoffs and buccaneers in private.

I am using Red Hat Linux 9. I want to connect to internet using my re= liance phone (LG LST -340E). I used the rconnect-cmdline-1.0, a tar file fr= om reliance website. I even tried using KPPP. I tried using many possibilit= ies, but get the message NO MODEM DETECTED. When I use wvdial, I get the me= ssage NO CARRIER FOUND. I have to use windows only for internet and then co= me back to linux. I request detailed steps for configuring my phone as a mo= dem on linux. I even tried searching the archives but could not get help fr= om there. Anandraj Soni. [1] [a=] References 1. ="http://clients.rediff.com/signature/track_sig.asp"

hi, Quite amazing.I don't understand why Xandros is investing in making products which are already there as free . There is no point in making a s/w for cd burning when there are good softwares like xcdroast... which will improve with time. and trying to sell it... It is a bad investment....

However, Linux has always had free (as in freedom) CD burners since cdrecord and its GUI front ends xcdroast and the Gnome and KDE analogues. And now Nautilus too has CD burning capabilities built in, so I fail to see the need for any proprietary closed source software costing $$$ for this task. I've used xcdroast for years now for all manners of things including mission critical backups, and have not had a problem yet.

Rail reservation system
by komal 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

Hi I am very impressed by Railway reservation system. I want to know which database Railway reservation system uses? Are they using Linux on Oracle? In which programming language Railway reservation system is developed? I like console-based apps not bloated GUI apps, which requires mouse. I want to deploy such application for my client using MySQL but not sure, which front I should use. What about ncurses? Thank you Komal
