Hi all,
Looking for everyone's feedback and suggestions
http://linuxbaskar.googlepages.com/free-software-for-education.pdf
Feedback on it
1. document in pdf format which is proprietory
2. Page 4 talks abt Lower Costs. it is mentioned that Initial Cost of
acquiring FOSS is much lower. what about TCO?
3. i disagree with second paragragh on page 6. where it says that FOSS
performs better than the proprietory softwares....
4. page 10 says rms started developing a free operation system called GNU
which is wrong. rms started a GNU project to create a unix-like operation
system. more over rms and linus did not plan and started the project. i
think its a grammer mistake
5. page 15. Linux is not the server OS. its a kernel
6. page 15. Apache is not a web server. Its a collection of projects. say it
as Apache HTTP Server Project. how do you know that it is #1 web server on
the internet?
7. page 16. MySQL's market share could never grow faster than windows.:)
please correct it. i think you want to compare with MSSQL.
8. page 62. scilab demo seems to be taken from windows vista.
9. for GIMP and Inkscape, QCAD, please change the title. for GIMP you could
say Graphical Image manipulation Program, for Inkscape, Vector Drawing
Program. in first few slides, you have said that FOSS performs better than
proprietary and here you are promoting using proprietary software names. i
agree it will catch people's mind but lets tell them what it is...
10. page 116 . Linux is included in FOSS. so change the title as "Useful
Websites on FOSS"
11. BOSS is not a popular linux i guess...check here
http://linux.about.com/od/popular_distros/Popular_Linux_Distributions.htm
12. in experts excerpt, can u please keep kalam's talk first
13. page 131 says "New technology developments using FOSS.". can you tell me
what are all new developments going on?
