motherboards, and brands. Apparently, the local AMC support guy who
had come today didn't have drivers for different proprietary OSes, and
for different motherboards. I then migrated their office computers to
Fedora 11 :)

Now, they have HCL, Wipro computers running Fedora.

release it, as this is the International Year of Astronomy [1]. I have
provided Rahul Sundarams' e-mail contact to them.
