Dear All,

When I was browsing Anna University website, I came across the page of
Laboratory Requirements
for CSE/IT/MCA Lab.

The link is

http://www.annauniv.edu/cai/links/LaboratoryRequirements0809/

The University has proposed the following softwares to be used in the
CSE/IT/MCA laboratory
for the academic year 2008-09 (almost all obselete proprietory
softwares/freewares have got entries. Don't get
surprised if you see PWS (Personal Web Server) in the IT Lab syllabus and no
mentioning about
Apache/Tomcat).

I have short listed the softwares recommended by the University and is
available below in PDF format

http://linuxbaskar.googlepages.com/be-cse-3-7sem-2008-09-lab-requiremen.pdf

Pl. through the list and you will know, why GNU/GPL/FOSS softwares hasn't
reached the shores of Indian Education
