hi,
I was looking at linuxcompatible.org - and it seems to be only throwing
up windows compatibility - or maybe I have forgotten how to search. Last
time I looked at it was atleast 5 years ago.

Hi,
Richard Stallman (RMS) has left a small package weighing about 10KG at
my place that needs to be taken to Mumbai. Request you to contact me if
you're going Delhi-Mumbai in the next few days and can carry it with
you.
Thanks,
