Ubuntu Linux version 7.10 has been released for free download by
Canonical.
Have you downloaded your copy and installed it ? Well, it seems
thousands of students in Kanpur, Lucknow and Allahabad who do not have
good Internet connections are requesting their friends to download
Kubuntu on a 700 MB CR and make copies for FREE distribution.
Students are finally understanding that their teachers know less about
software expertise and innovation than their old fashioned teachers
who still have not even heard about Ubuntu and Kubuntu.

Kathmandu, Darjeeling, Varanasi, Benares, Gorakhpur, Bareilly, Noida,
Gurgaon, schools who needs an excellent operating system with loads of
free and wonderful educational software can contact us at
oska...@gmail.com
2. Is Ubuntu really free ? - Yes, yes yes
3. Is it really world class ? - Yes, Yes, Yes
4. Is it difficult to install ? - No, No, No
5. Is it difficult to learn ? - No, no, No
6. Should I believe someone who says Ubuntu is not for me ? - Please
dont without trying it out yourself for one wee. Yes. I'm loving it.
7. Where to download from and burn the ISO image on CD if I cant get
my hands on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon ? - Simple - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Primary and secondary school Indian teachers and students in Kanpur
Lucknow -

Those who have been using Linux on their desktop, laptops and servers
for some time now will be aware that it is now only 14 days left for
the next version of Ubuntu and Kubuntu to be launched. We just cant
wait for the greatest Linux desktop ever to hit the Indian markets
especially for users in Kanpur and Lucknow.

To celebrate the launch of the Ubuntu and Kubuntu - Gutsy Gibbon
Version 7.10 - we are organizing a snacks and soft drinks party for
bright school children in Kanpur, Lucknow, Allahabad, Agra, Gorakhpur
and Varanasi to get together and share Linux tips with other school
children. We all know that the school children in Kanpur and Lucknow
know more about Linux Ubuntu / Kubuntu than their computer science
teachers and instructors who have never even heard of Ubuntu.

We are also organizing a get together for adults interested in
computer basics and some samosas - come and join us in end of October.
We will be distributing free CD of Ubuntu and Kubuntu - and the first
100 laptops will also qualify for a free learn and install Ubuntu and
Kubuntu training session.

Please note all school children from English as well as Hindi medium
schools in Kanpur and Lucknow are invited - Methodist, St. Mary,
Christ Church, Central schools, Jaipuria, delhi Public school, DPS
children who want to learn to play with Linux and learn free, open and
non proprietory softwares are all welcome.

Feel free to ask questions - the top three best questions about if
Linux is Best for Indian school students will receive designer UBUNTU
T-shirts - so polish up your debating skills on Linux versus whatever
...

Check out the Ubuntu website and download your free Ubuntu from the
nearest server. Please note that despite all the talk of Indian IT -
there is still NO Indian server providing free downloads of Ubuntu and
Linux. That is a pity when you consider how many IT professionals the
IIM IIT and IIIT produce each year.

Hopefully soon some Indian IT science and technology bureaucrat will
wake up from his sleep and offer free webservers for downloading
Ubuntu from an Indian server for Indian children who want to learn
Linux. Who knows what the S&T bureaucrats are planning once they get
time off from teaching old stuff to Indian children ?
