Subject: Re: [LIG] sub-10K PC - msg#00035List: user-groups.linux.india.generalI don't know how you're defining ``user friendly UI'', but normally when people use that phrase they mean ``Winduhs clone UI''. E.g. I recently installed Ubuntu for a remote NGO (they're so remote they don't even have mobile phones!) They must be living in the US then :) -Arun ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf Thread at a glance:

Our website is www.tcv.org.in and www.tibchild.org We have recently formed a group called DITG (Dharamsala IT Group). Our first project was to connect various NGO working in and around Dharamsala on a Wireless Mesh Network. Almost 80% of the work are finished. Our project leader is Mr. Ben David and we would like to know if there are other places in India which have already implemented such network.

I believe small form factor is key to keeping the manufacturing costs down. And low power helps too. -Arun ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf Loading Comments...
