Now  that  things  stand  exposed,  we  have to  help  them  shift  over
completely to  GNU/Linux.  We have  to educate them about  GNU/Linux and
say that Free  software is not about Free Masala  Dosas, tell them about
the signal hiding underneath the clutter.  Free the Citizens!

The Opposition should not be allowed  to escape by saying that they were
not advised  properly on technological  issues when they were  in power.
The present  Antony Govt. has  inherited what the Opposition  had passed
along.  The Corporation  of Cochin (ruled by the CPI  (M)) here has gone
in  for massive  computerization  using Windows  software, everybody  is
interested in the `purchase angle'.

If the use  of Windows is something a politician  can be criticized for,
then it  is a good  thing that the  newspapers are doing.   I completely
agree  with what  Raj has  said here.   We should  instead write  to the
Editor of `Malayala Manorama' thanking him for this fine expose.
