Poland and India
As a fallout of my visit to Krakow, a possiblity exists for AGH Univ, Krakow to collaborate with an Indian University. My first choice was IIIT Hyderabad. I went to meet Prof. Rajeev sangal, Director of IIITH, yesterday. Apparently IIITH is already on the radar of AGH Univ. I am sure something exciting will come up, as a result of these developments. Insha-allah.

Partha is a gangster now !
Dr. Partha has been invited to join "the Answer Gang" of Linux Gazette (LG).
LG is an internationally reputed, web-based journal for Linux. LGis read by millions of people all around the world. LG is published in English and 7 other languages. It is mirrored in 41 sites in 18 countries around the world. I also understand that US Universities give academic credit for publishing in LG. LG is a refereed journal (ISSN: 1934-371X), and is listed in the Ulrichs database.
The "answer gang" is a bunch of dedicated volunteers who answer your questions about Linux. Being part of this gang, is an honour by itself.
See you at LG !

Thank you, Krakow
Just visited and lectured at the AGH UNiv. of Science and Technology, Krakow Poland. Felt small when I learnt that giants like Stefan Banach (mathematician), Nicolas Copernicus (astronomer) lived and taught in Krakow. Krakow is also the birth place of Pope John Paul II. Krakow was also the site of one of the largest concentration camps of Hitler. There is so much history, so much culture and so much to see and learn here. Thank you Prof. Cetnarowicz.
Wonder why none of our own Indian instiutions even notice my presence so close to them.

About : Two is better than one....
//** It was a pleasure. I can say that with some authority, since I ended up proofreading it myself - given your diction, sense of humor, and technical accuracy, I really enjoyed working on it. **//
This is what the reviewer of my article at LG has to say about my article. Wonder why our Indian friend from LFY did not see any merit. Who is the loser ? Think about it.

Two is better than one (again !)
Letter addressed to Linux For You (LFY) ::::
Hello Sir,
I write, to thank you for a very great service you have recently done for me. In case, you have not noticed, please visit the site : http://linuxgazette.net/167/index.html .
YES, I am now the author of an article in an internationally famous and popular journal -- The Linux Gazette (LG). I owe this glory and fame to you. You may recall that this is the very same article which you found unacceptable for LFY. Unlike the gurus in LFY, the guys at LG did not find anything objectionable or offensive in my article. They published it **verbatim** , without any fuss, and without any frivolous or meaningless arguments.
The reason for their (LG's) phenomenal popularity and image is probably that they a recognise a good idea when they see one. For your information, LG is read by millions of people all around the world. LG is published in English and 7 other languages. It is mirrored in 41 sites in 18 countries around the world. I also understand that US Universities give academic credit for publishing in LG. LG is a refereed journal (ISSN: 1934-371X), and is listed in the Ulrichs database. And above all, ** it does not promote Microsoft tacitly (or, let us say shamelessly) **!
Your decision to dilly-dally on my article, made me try out this option. I am grateful to people like you, who help, us ordinary teachers get worldwide visibility. May your tribe flourish.
GOD bless you.

Two is better than one !
Two is better than one !
My mission is to make Linux "more enjoyable for more people" (MEMP). Here is a simple and effective way to get more out of your Linux box:
http://www.profpartha.webs.com/publications/twoisbetter.pdf
This article introduces the concept of twin-boot (as opposed to dual boot). Twin-boot involves two (or more) Linux distros on the same machine, and two hard disk drives (optional but highly recommended). The distros are cleverly installed, so as to make the best use of the available hardware redundancy. You can do more, and do it faster, with this kind of an arrangement.
Try this, and let me know.
