Dear Friends,
I have joined in this mailing list with the hope that -
1. I am a Novice Linux user so I'll get support from my local community.
2. Though support is available in the International forum but here I'll be
able to express easily in my own language.
3. I'll be able to meet like minded people physically as we are in the same
country
4. I'll get to know about any software developed in open source in my
language
5. I'll be able to help other beginners with my little knowledge
6. As so many distro available I'll get to know the good and bad side of
them and find suitable one for me.
7. Get to know the technical side of Linux OS.
Unfortunately the mails I'm receiving is not very encouraging. Guys it's not
a debate club. Plz share the knowledge and keep your superiority coimplex
for somewhere else. Thanx.
