Cool Firefox 1.5

Amazing OpenOffice 2.0!

I felt like working on full fledged installed linux. http://wiki.colinux.org is very much useful. It **does not** take much memory, just 2 MB only :-) What is coLinux?

Downloaded coLinux-0.6.2.exe (4.7MB) and Debia...

Just started, just like that…!

Hi all, I want to share my experiments with Computers (especially cute penguin Linux) here. Let me see, how I turn my interests in future. :-) This is my sincere attempt to make false the statement that "Indians are net takers, not contributors". After all "Knowledge sharing is nothing but Learning". :-) :-)
