Listen, I've been following what you are saying about engg.
colleges, and
the idea of getting engg students hooked onto Linux is great,
but I am not
sure sermonizing (you may call it evangelism if you like) is
the best way.
Why not defeat the commercial software behemoths (Novel, MS,
the list is
endless) at their own game. Why not seed colleges? Once the
software is on
One of my friends is pursuing MCA at SIES college. The college ppl are still in a process of setting up a brand new Lab for the newly started MCA cource. And my friend was telling me that most of the students wants to have a *nix based systems/servers as opposed to Windows based systems/servers being arranged by the college ppl. So we do have a good chance to make most of this opportunity. We can talk to the authorities there. List members from South Indian communities may have some better hold over this issue.
