Indian firm unveils low-cost Linux-based computers

Great start on cheap portable PC's: One more step towards the right direction. Other countries will soon import them (once its proved to last long and perform well locally). So these small future companies of India be careful with quality and aim high. The systems should be sold only through authorized dealers/outlets and if piracy and fake copies of the system found the dealers and suppliers investigated. Waiting for these products to help the rural and urban population, with needed info and entertainment purposes. IPOD, PALM, sony and other related manufacturers beware , here they come sooooner than anticipated. And who wants to pay too much for somethign which anyways will be outdated in couple of years. This is not a topic on the war of Linux vs MS. Its a choice and later they both will even it out when prices increase for Linux based solutions and windows get cheaper and offer other incentives with MS based solutions.; Posted by: jesindia Posted on: 05/10/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
