I was very happy to note that now Linux has some CAD software which is comparable to the best in the world or eventually going to be there. I was doubly happy to know our public sector was making a contribution in this regard. But my hopes were dashed when i wanted to access the documentation/download page. Looks to be more hype than real. Commercial motivation seems to have gripped the govt babus. This seems to be a software made from open source or GPL softwares in the area of CAD/ERP where … [View More]

Making linux well supported among vendors/manufacturers
by Kussh Singh 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

The mobile market will exceed the computer market in coming years or has already exceeded the computer and related gadgets market. Nokia and other manufacturers routinely make softwares for their hardware products for the windows and macintosh operating systems. Unless we, the FOSS users request them every now and then thru email, feedback on their websites, online forums etc etc to also support these softwares on the linux platform, Linux will get increasingly sidelined and less people will … [View More]

Any good download managers
by Kussh Singh 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi all, I tried downloading the HUGE collabcad PLM setup file from collabcad website. However both times though I was able to download the 1.62GB file using firefox addon downthemall, downthemall failed to finally put the file in the proper download folder given for the purpose. Only 750mb file resulted from a FULL download of 1.62 GB. There was enough space in the /home directory -so that possibility of less space is ruled out. I think downthemall 1 downloads to a temporary or hidden … [View More]

problem with kde 4.3 update
by Pratik Anand 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

@Kartik i know that but you are not getting the question. I had installed kde4.2.2 when kde 4.3 was just about to come....But after when it came , Synaptics or apt didn't upgrade 4.2 to 4.3..even on manual checking of update , they said 'your kde packages are uptodate' and thats with others too.. So, I wanted to know the reason behind this... As if canonical is still not supportng 4.3 in jaunty or anything else... My question is WHY not HOW (first step is Googling always)...Why it is not … [View More]
