Hi Navneet,
I'm not sure if anyone from this list should be responding to this email.
1. Ubuntu-in is not a place to discuss how to break rules. If your
college specifies rules, then they are applicable for your network,
and we will NOT help there.
2. Sending this list to the kernel team and ubuntu-devel is an
extremely bad idea. They have absolutely no relation with your issue.
3. Asking your IT admins nicely enough should be a good enough
solution. Have you tried figuring out why are Linux repos blocked? Is
it due to a bandwidth limit? If yes, you could convince someone from
the college IT to set up a local apt-proxy or apt-cacher (or the
equivalent yum servers) and provide you a way out.
Not all IT Admins are BOFHs, some infact love to see you grow as a
hacker (the white hat sense, if there's any such sense). Get to know
them well, and they might even support you later in your Open Source
activities.
