Don't exploit something just because it's free. If everyone did this then soon they will have to stop giving free CD's.

Ahh......

this is disgusting man....you sold those CD to auto mechanic...OUTRAGEOUS!!

why are you abusing free stuff like that...its for educational purpose and let it be, why are you making hell out of it, really shameful.

you have put forward another good example...why people in India don't deserve free stuff!! and for the same reason why foreign companies..are too reticent to send free stuff to country like India!!

I will surely report this incident to canonical, so they put forward more stringent checks when giving out large no. of CD's and so others don't have to suffer due to idiots like tech_rockers.

Listen Up every body in this thread
Firstly auto mechanic would not buy cds becoz he can get tons of wasted cds for free (here in delhi).
Cds Aren,t Allowed to used as Reflectors
I was just joking
I did,nt think that you Technology geeks may belive it as real thing
I Apllogize for my words

And I Love my India and Its Culture After Reading Your Reveiws!
And I can Say that it will devolop soon with the Guys Like You!

I did'nt think That Any Auto Mechanic or any Other damn guy is going to buy ubuntu without any reasons.
And If any one buy or recive it as gift is going give it try for at least once
i have seen many examples who orderd 200 cd and and did,nt ever dare share them and put it in their racks just to show off.
and i might think this would encourage Those brain midget out there to commit foolish act like the one i just mentioned this would at least encourage them to share those cds.

It doesnt seems to me a joke! No1 asked u why u ordered so much CDs and u told everyone to earn money using this way!
And when Mehul posted about reporting it, u said it was a joke. hmmmmm, interesting!!!

I request to Mehul, pls move this thread to Junk Yard so that no other person follow such shameful method to earn money.

Their main aim is to SHARE THE SPIRIT OF UBUNTU If It Is shared their aim finishes neverlethness of way of sharing involved.
At least Mr xyz's friends can have chance to use ubuntu It dosent matter how much they have paid/or not(depends on mr. xyz's) to get it.

Yes it is , but order only as much as you require and not to distribute to rickshaw drivers. It is because of this initiative by Cannonical that Ubuntu has gained a lot of popularity in the open source world.

May be he has got people to distribute this lot. I orderred 25 cds previously. But half remained with me as most people I approached refused to install Linux as they felt it was only for geeks. Now I order as less as possible.

ok, my suggestion to other readers is not to order free cds unless you dont have broadband and no access to computer magazines because there is no reason that these categories should ask for free cds from foreigners.:)Even then order only 1 cd and then make more copies if required.

Have you ever used Linux before...When I read the following news, I thought Kerala is moving towards right direction but there are many left still now...SAD.

Kerala to go 100% Linux

After the cola ban it is now the turn of Microsoft to log out of Kerala. Children in 12500 high schools in the state will not be taught Windows. Instead instructors are lining up Linux for them. Kerala has 99.9% Literacy.

I am not basically from Kerala,am a Marathi.I dont give a damn to this Kerla Linex boasting,...they are umm...
Windows is the Best friends,Understand this,rather than bashing a pROUD Windows XP user:confused: ....
Microsoft is such a gr8 company,how can u bash a microsoft Windows user here?I read many useful infi from anand,vishal Gupta etc see they are Windows Users and Brainy...

I used to think so too, at one time but then the story is different. They entered by monopolitising the market, lock ins and unethical practices.

I'd disagree at this point. As, a commerce student, I have learnt that monopoly is never good, not for customers nither for the market. And today, ethics is one of the most important things in business. That's why CRM suites and coprporate governance is getting such high popularity.

It was rather the cheap hardware that Intel could produce, by overturning tables on IBM, and MS backstabbing IBM for Intel, that brought computers to people's desks not MS.

Do you really think Linux is so inferior that it can't be used to post this here? I am in fact using OpenSuse 10.2 to post this even though I have Windows MCE 2005. OpenSuse has some roadblocks but its still is as much good (if not better) than Windows.

By the way, you have wrong information, Microsoft didn't bring computing to the masses. It was the hardware companies like IBM which constantly kept trying to find ways to make cheaper and better hardware. If we didn't have the 2.4 GHz processors and 1 GB RAM of today at such dirt prices you probably would have been trying to type this through an MS DOS command line terminal (more likely not).

By the way don't try cheap jokes/tricks to start a flame war against an operating system, I know where you are headed.

:eek:
"Do you really think Linux is so inferior that it can't be used to post this here?"
When did i say these words i was just asking a simple question that which os r all using
if u r using OpenSuse 10.2 it well and good and i got my answer from u

it was u who himself think linux as inferior and asked me bla bla..
So in terms of software who bringed computing to mass?
-remember it is a question not insult
And please dont give me the ans like this
"do u relly think linux is such inferior that it cannt briing cmpting to mass"

And the last
It was not me to start the flame war against os
analyse the whole thread u will know who started this
