Debian or Ubuntu

From: Rahul
To: Sunil Mohan
Subject: Debian or Ubuntu

Some applications which I had backported while using debian etch along with the backporting difficulty level:

alltray (simple)
ekiga (medium - the etch version was giving problems for IP-to-IP direct calling)
ffmpeg / mplayer / avidemux (quite a nightmare ... I was trying to backport the testing version from debian-multimedia.org)
gwenview (simple - etch version had some bugs)
pidgin (difficult - because it was using libnss .. actually i installed libnss from mepis :D)

Limited By Thoughts

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he/she chooses.

As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not.

135B of RP Act

As per 135B of Representation of People (RP) Act, persons who are eligible to vote (i.e. those whose names are present in the voters list) and are residents of the constituency where elections are being held, are eligible to take a paid leave from their company for casting their vote. In other words, every citizen has the right to tell their boss that they are going to vote on the election/bye-election day and they cannot be denied their pay for that day.

The Detoriating Quality of Indian News Channels

Gone are the good old days of DD News when the entire day's news were covered in about half an hour. Now is the period of 24-hour news channels.
