Suresh has made the following statements: On Mon, 5 Feb 2001, Suresh Ramasubramanian wrote:Then, you don't deny (and won't, if you have any kind of a conscience) that you are trying to hijack the linux movement in India.I categorically deny these allegations, and I am herewith publicly asking Suresh to (point by point) validate his accusations. Naturally, anyone else who feels that Suresh is right - please feel free to join him in presenting his case.
It was very popular in M$ vs Netscape row, to publicly announce that M$ is stealing / hijaking the show.... But the thing is that, in this world, there will be survival for the fittest. So it is better to go for collaborative environment and ignore any kinda allegations. I personally feel, no one can hijak any public movement. I have heared a lot of times from the mouth of some Linux ppl that execore and Atul is hijaking Linux movement, but is not it a undue allegation?? I am not in favour or against of exocore aka Atul but I feel these kinda flame is weakening the Linux movement in India. Suresh is also one of my good friend so I am really confused why he is making allegation.....
In the view of this flame, I want to put forward another issue which is weakening the Linux movement in India. It is the FLAME BETWEEN DEBIAN users AND RH/MANDRAKE users. Specially, I have seen the some debian users like to feel that they are geek and in turn, they accuse RH / Mandrake /SUSE ppl as lame and when they represent DEBIAN, they present it as cryp but elite most Linux distributions. This is only because, these ppl are useless and it is also because, they are not real contributers of Linux and they survive in the Linux world by flaming other distros (sometimes they never have used any other distros). I feel these kinda ppl are real useless who are dividing the actual Linux movement. I know some nice ppl who use all kinda distros and they discuss about pros and cons of them.... but never flame on each other. So let us not to get identified ourselves as deb, rh. mdk users but let us be Linuxers...
WE ARE UNITE AND WE ARE LINUXERS...
What is this about???? Hey cool down ... U both, Atul and Suresh are sensible contributers to the Indian Linux community... So, please cool down --And your threatening to pull rank on me and attempting to handle this on the quiet are an indication that you don't _dare_ rebut me on the list.I just did. The ball is now in the accusers' court. Atul
