[OT] Relience vs Tata, Speed Check
by Rony 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hello All, MTNL's triband is getting from bad to worse with connectivity problems, when I need it the most. So I am pondering over dumping the extra line and going for the USB modems from Tata or Reliance. That will give me connectivity outside Mumbai too. What are the user experiences with Reliance and Tata USB modems? How do they fare during peak hours? What download speeds do you average? -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux?

Simple File Browser for KDE
by Rony 10 Oct '07

Hello All, If you are using KDE and don't want Konqueror but a simple file browser then install Dolphin using apt or adept. Then right click on any folder and select 'Open With'. Here select Dolphin and check the remember box. Now every time you open a folder, it opens in Dolphin. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

I assume, the causes could be a. The (longer) distance of your (exchange's?) DSLAM from the place of installation. (Wire quality, QoS etc.) b. The SNR (or Line Attenuation) on your line. c. A parallel line (telephone at your home) of the same number. Solutions: a. Probably doesn't have a /concrete/ solution. Authorities at MTNL would have to be notified of it. b. If the line is running in parallel to other (affecting) lines, the SNR may have increased, there _might_ be differences in your speed. Line Attenuation might also be another cause. Reducing it by some means, could help. c. Parallel lines, may be a cause for line attenuation. (Assuming that signals are relayed to a non-receiving device). A single line from the exchange, would be plugged, in the filter. Two other wires, one to the DSL router, and the other to the phone. Bas! That's it. There should be some improvement. Ofcourse, if you have tried these, and Triband doesn't serve the purpose well, you can switch to a different provider. http://www.exatt.net - was mentioned somewhere in the archives for good unlimited data transfer plans. http://www.ubuntu-in.org

Synovel Technologies is an open source product start up founded by graduates of IIIT Hyderabad and is based out of Hyderabad. Having been recently angel-funded, they are currently looking to hire full time employees for the product development. The candidates should be passionate about open source development, self-driven and must be proficient in the technologies they know. There are two roles on offer: a) Linux hacker with experience in handling various servers (email, jabber etc.), server side programming abilities with knowledge of any scripting language. The candidate must have over at least two years of experience in hacking (maybe at college or work or wherever!) and should be proficient in what they do. b) Php + Ajax developers with at least two years of experience in development of such web applications (back-end or front-end). Should have previously developed at least two web applications based on these technologies. Note from Synovel: We are not looking for people who were on the teams that worked on these projects, we are looking for people who involved hands in actual development! The dirtier your hands got, the better your chances of getting picked up by us. Please send in your CVs to careers(a)synovel.com in case you are interested in any of these roles. Compensation will be commensurate with the candidates' expertise and may have a cash and stock component. If you have other skills in open source product development, you are welcome to apply. We will let you know if we can find a place for you in the organization.

Software powering the President of India's website
by Kumar Appaiah 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Dear Linuxers, We know Dr. Kalam was a FOSS advocate, and as soon as he was told that his own (President's) web site was powered by non-free technologies, he had it switched to a FOSS based server. But I think the de-Kalamization (read de-FOSSization) has started with his exit: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.presidentofindia.nic.in Comments/Observations?
