Hello All,
We would like to set up a "debian-l10n-kannada@..." list to
coordinate the Swatantra Kannada localisation. It would be very much
appreciated if several people interested in the new list would send a mail
to the bug, in order to record your interest.

Please see the above link for more details.
Thanks

But from your earlier mail, it didn't look like so. Why would you want
to use rpm, alien and dpkg when you know apt/aptitude and synaptic
does the dependency resolution and expect rpm/dpkg to resolve
dependencies when you know well that they won't?

Would a new user go to command line and type dpkg or he goes to menu
and click on synaptic?

What is there to learn about synaptic? Does he have to worry about
dependencies? All software listed in synaptic are tested to work with
the rest of the system.

I thought the default install suffice for those who don't know how to
use a computer. They have a web browser, email client, office program
which can read and write their MS Office files, have a chat program

Action: Sign on "A Letter to Warner Chairman Edgar Bronfman"

During Monday's "Wake Up Warner" call-in action, Warner Chairman Edgar
Bronfman's assistant suggested we send him a letter - that she would
make sure he would see. We know how that worked out with Steve Jobs
and Apple, so here it is, a letter to Edgar Bronfman, Jr. asking him
to reconsider his current opposition to Digital Music free of Digital
Restrictions.

Which license should I use?

Hello all,
I wish to start a FOSS based project for enterprise use. The project
is developed in LAMP(GNU/Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) suite and also
uses third party libraries like  Smarty(http://smarty.php.net) ,
Xajax(http://xajaxproject.org) and ADOdb
(http://adodb.sourceforge.net/). All these libraries are licensed
under LGPL. Can I use GNU GPL(v2) for the above software? Kindly
provide some guidance.

regards
Manilal K M.

My vote is for ``GPL v2 or later''; because you will need the (still
in pipeline) GPL version 3. and code from LGPL can be used in GPL
applciations.

And no, I am no longer a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.
