Respected Sirs,

I am Akshay Narkar, currently a student (taken drop for IIT). I stay at Mahim. I am interested in using Linux as an OS. I visited some Websites which told me to take help from a Linux group in my area. I tried downloading Ubuntu Linux from net but my connection is a petty 9kBps. Can you please suggest a way so that i can get a copy of Free Linux,along with a users manual from someone in my area?

Thanking you, yours sincerely, Akshay Narkar -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers

Please specify your area? And no need to be formal, we are here as friends. :)

oops. Didn't notice the Mahim specification. Apologies. :)

Dear Akshay,

If you wish to come over HBCSE( Homi bhabha Center for science Education) With your own Blank CD, DVD.

We will provide you whichever version of Ubuntu as per your Machine Configuration like 32bit or 64 bit.

If you want to have Apton with that, it is also possible give it to u.

I like to request the members, please don't ask canonical always to send CD, DVD for you. You can easily get it nearby or writing to us. Free software allows us to copy and Distribute it.. Then why we waste shipping charge for one or two CD's.

You can also write me off-list for the same.

If u wish for it: Meet me at : Ganesh Gajare, ( M.O: 9773560290) Gnowledge Lab, HBCSE( Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education) V.N.Purav Marg, Mankhurd, Mumbai-88

Regards, Ganesh, Be FOSSERS, Use GNU/Linux

Dear Akshay, I live in Mahim and would be glad to help. I have Ubuntu 9.04 (the latest but one of the popular Ubuntu distro). I would be glad to make a pen drive for you but the problem is that I am leaving for Delhi tomorrow and will not be back till Sunday. Can you wait till Sunday. Sanjay Singhvi
