I am using Linux kernel based GNU OS since 2001. My first Linux install was PCQ linux. It was really nice distribution based on RedHat Linux. Since then I was a great admirer of RedHat distribution. With Fedora much has been changed in the original content. The most important utilities require specialist approach to work with. For example to make media player to play mp3 music we need external plug-ins to be installed. Software install is next big hurdle in making Linux a end-user friendly GNU OS.

Is the title misleading? No it was not intentional but accidental that I came across a good study conducted by a company which uses this title while publishing their study. Here is the link to the article

According to me the greatest benefit from Open Source is the learning opportunity it offers and the stimulation it provides for folks like me to innovate in the Open with projects like Samooha

I was wondering how to express my excitement about Sun's recent announcement about Java! After some thoughts I decided to write it in my blog where I discuss about Samooha, the software that is making its own progress as a new generation business application platform for Small and Medium Enterprises.

This is not another debate, please. I am keen to learn from experts as to why there is not as much activity in this space?

We are trying to learn and apply some techniques to encourage Open Source Development (and not just evangelising OSS and using it) in India and other developing countries.
