Right, I have been writing articles on Linux for a while now in Kannada
to involve people into Linux learning at various levels. People from
many different areas are interested in exploring and using Ubuntu more
than what I had expected. Students can really take advantage of Install
fests and other work shops which we can conduct during the weekends. It
can really add value here until universities add FOSS courses into their
syllabus.

Following are the few article under the title "LinuxaayaNa" in which I
have been talking about Ubuntu and its features. We even conducted an
Install Fest called "Gnu/Linux habba" in April @ IISc and its being
repeated again in Mysore next month. (more info on this event can be
found at http://habba.in)
