It shares a border with Kerala. But more of a M$ shop 'cause we have a lot of big time IT outfits here which pay the M$ tax. Great job of telling the world where GNU/Linux is making a major difference. But did you notice in the news item mentioning the Kerala IT project there was no mention even once of the 'GNU/Linux' or 'Free Software' or 'Open Source'! Though if you looked for it carefully you can catch a glimpse of the 'Gimp' in one of the frames. I am sure the TV channel NDTV did not want to rub M$ the wrong way!! Hi,

One can and often has on copy of Linux bought or downloaded which goes on numerous machines. No one can say how many copies of Linux I have installed here on 7 PC's together with all the virtual machines I have running with many other distros. Great article describing what must just be the big apples in the barrel. Most articles totally ignore the widespread use of Linux, mainly concentrating on the support licenses taken out with RedHat and Novell - lies, damn lies and statistics come to mind.
