Hi,
I'm back home in Dehradun for my month long end semester holidays. The
government offices here have been spending 'crores; of rupees on original
Windows XP and Norton anti-virus for the thousands of computers in the
government offices all over the state. It seems they got weary of that.
There was a report in the local newspapers yesterday that they have decided
to switch to Linux in all offices. The switch hasn't started yet and they
haven't contacted any company or person to help them do so. My father being
a govt. officer, I can try and contact the officials responsible for this
and put up a presentation on Linux(Specific to Fedora off course). What do
you think?
That would be splendid if you manage to do it.
However, it would be nice to know for what purpose they are going to
use it for? Desktop or both Desktop/Server? Fedora will be fine as
Desktop while CentOS should be preferred for the server if they don't
want to upgrade their servers every year.
Let us know how we can help and thanks for doing this.
PS. Should I forward this mail to the ambassadors list too?
At this point, that may be a bit premature but it is your call.
