“FreeOS.com, an India-based free operating system resource
center, is doing its part to ensure that free and open source
software is available in India and is being promoted in other
countries.”
“Prakash Advani, FreeOS.com’s CEO, has worked toward the
promotion of free operating systems since first using Linux in 1996
and started FreeOS.com in 1998 to push those promotion efforts to
the next level. “We plan to do whatever is necessary to promote the
use of free operating systems,” Advani said. “I’ll be happy to get
any feedback on what we should do. We currently do whatever we feel
is necessary–right from providing CD’s, training, solutions,
consulting, articles, support, etc.”
“The Linux community has responded–and not just in India,
Advani said. “We have grown in leaps and bounds in traffic. In the
last one month itself our traffic has doubled. We currently get
about 20,000 hits a day,” he said. “We get 40 percent traffic from
the U.S. and also get significant traffic from Germany and Canada.
Our stats show that most of our visitors are business visitors–IT
managers, etc.”
