Dear all, LinuXpert Systems has decided to setup a local FOSS Software Repository for all Technical / Non-Technical institutions in Tamilnadu *FREE OF COST* in their existing Server infrastructure. The implementation will be covering 2500+ institutions, including all Universities Engineering Colleges Medical Colleges Arts and Science Colleges Polytechnics The following things will be implemented in the local FOSS Software Repository: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (i386 and amd64 with complete software repository including main/universe/multiverse/restricted) -> Total Capacity: 120+ GB Fedora 18 (i386 / x86_64 / arm / source / spins with complete software repository including rpmfusion free / nonfree) -> Total Capacity : 150+ GB The institutions has to provide the necessary hardware resources for implementing the above setup. As there is no cost involved for the implementation, the institution has to provide good accommodation facility and pay TA/DA expenses for the resource person who implements it (we welcome volunteers for the implementation). ------------------------------------------------------------------- *** This implementation is not done in commercial interest *** As most institutions has lost interest using Proprietary OS and Applications and want to move to GNU/Linux and teach using Free Software tools, we have decided to support these institutions to wipeout proprietary software to the maximum extent possible from the Desktop Computing and introduce GNU/Linux and FOSS tools as an alternative with the hope of building a knowledge sharing community. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Details : Baskar Selvaraj baskar at linuxpert.in -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge
