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.
