    Because of the high level of piracy here, everyone I know is running a pirated copy of Windows, and most of them don't even know that they're doing something illegal.

    Do NOT run any command resembling sudo rm -rf /. It is the 10-character code of death

    Try explaining that to people here when they give you looks of disgust and disbelief at the mention of Linux.

    Anyone from Chandigarh here??
    Chandigarh also has IT Park, which is good.

    And Bhavi, Please don't use stupid misspellings for Microsoft. We are not against anybody, we just want to support ubuntu.

    Re: POLL: What do you think of ubuntu/linux implementation in India

    When i discuss the same with people, they say that the problem is not its userfriendlyness, it is: Its compatibility!!!
    Most people around, when use Windows, it becomes difficult to interact!!
    And with Ms changing their file formats like for Office 07, it becomes even more difficult..
    What i could convince them on is using a dual boot!!
    But then: where can we get an mp3 player from?? What r dependencies?? Its so tedious!! Is net must???

    And here, net is not something very common, still, in india...
    Loads of people dnt have it, and the remaining have a download limit of some 350 or 500 Mbs, or Max of 1Gb....

    Atleast i cant ansewer all those questions to their satisfaction!!!

    Yeah, it becomes a pain when they don't have a net connection or when they have something like BSNL or Airtel's limited plans. Their argument - "but its so fast and cheap", my argument - "but its so costly after the tiny limit is reached". I even know some people who've got dial up and are spending hundreds or Rupees per month, although they could get an Airtel unlimited usage plan for much less than they are currently spending on their decade old dial up.

    I'm currently on an Airtel 256 kbps unlimited usage plan, and although its not as fast as most net connections in other countries, I'm happy enough with it for now.
