“BANGALORE: When India Inc. is grappling with `digital divide’,
Linux, the free operating systems which is giving sleepless nights
to Microsoft, has come up with a solution.”
“Experts feel Linux is best suitable for a situation like India
where this open operating system can bring in life to those old
machines which are lying un-used and obsolete in various
godowns.”
“Atul Chitnis, director of Exocore Consulting and the person who
is spearheading Linux awareness movement in India believes that in
such a situation, Linux fits in beautifully. ‘Even the weaker
machines like 486 or Pentium which are available in abundance and
people are reluctant to use it because they are redundant, can be
able to to run the operating systems like Win 2000 on it by the
help of Linux,’ Chitnis explained.”
