The Great North South Divide

Studying at a NIT (National Institute of Technology) is a rich cultural experience. Students here are from all over the country and this helps to know the cultural and customs of different communities. I study at NIT Warangal which is in Andhra Pradesh so 50% of the students are from AP. Now we are in final year ever since the first day of our college we seat ourselfs in the classroom in a particular way. The students are the north india sit on the left and the students from the south mostly from AP sit on the right. No matter which classroom we have been in be it a test in some hall or even the seminar hall. We always sit this way... Its our last year in college and I wonder wil this north south divide ever be overcome...

Ubuntu 6.06

I had a chance to lay my hands on the most recent version of the ubuntu linux distribution. I decided to try it. I was totally impressed with the hassle free installation. Its even easier then installing windows and definately easier then most linux distros. Ubuntu earlier used to ship with two cds one for live and other for install, But this time they ship it with only one cd, which can be used as a live cd as well as install cd. This lets you have a preview of what the os will be like even before you install it. The live cd can be used anytime even if you decide not to install ubuntu, this can give you a good exposure to linux. And whats more its all free, yeah anyone can order ubuntu linux free of cost shipped to their doorstep.
