Wishes all of you a very happy diwali

Hello to all nixCraft friends everywhere. Wishing each one of you a very happy and prosperous Diwali:
"May the blessing of the Lord, always be with you!!!
May your life sparkle with joy, success & wellbeing!!!"

Hope the light of this festive period shines in all of your life and open source movement forever.

Diwali is a major festival of lights (just like Christmas) in India. But it is not only a festival of lights but also a special occasion to worship Lord and purchase new goodies. I have brought myself a new Dell 6400 laptop (1 GIG/ T2300 Intel Dual Core, 15" etc and it is powered by Ubuntu Linux )

A typical household celebrates by purchasing new cloths, gold, gifts,makes (and exchanges) sweets, sends greetings to each other and yes we celebrate Diwali with lots of fireworks

I have holidays till Monday. I will be spending time with my family and friends this year

Santhosh,

Yes everything is configured automatically including WLAN, video, sound, touch pad etc. I am using Ubuntu. Linux (gnome desktop).

Appreciate your post.

Yo big boss

…. Happy Diwali ….

We will miss you this year ( hey last year was fun). I was expecting a post @ HM blog.

I brought XBOX 360 premium but it was disappointment for me. It doesn’t have the XboxLive headset and games selection is also poor (bundled).

Heh …

Great news, as far as I know they don’t have XBOXLive in India but many Indians connect to US or UK site. My friend spends lots of time and he has Gold membership. I do have XBOX 360 and I am waiting Nintendo wii (there rumors that it will run using Linux.)
