Subject: INDIA: FLOSS national networking tool...
In case you had given up on the linux-india.org site, then please take a second
look. Raju Mathur of Delhi has given it a new lease of life, by making it a
very collaborative project.
See http://www.linux-india.org
As he puts it: This site is for you, the Linux user in India! You can use the
resources on this site to:
* Get access to the latest Linux/FLOSS news in India
* Create and publish your own web site
* Get a quick look at upcoming Liunux/FLOSS events
* Search for jobs (and people appropriate for jobs)
* Find a Linux User Group (LUG) near you
* ...and much more
Please create an account and edit your personal page to get a feel of what can
be done with this site. The only tools you need are this browser, your mouse
and your keyboard.
If you would like to submit news (about FLOSS in your region) or announce any
upcoming event, and if you're having a difficulty in doing so, just email me a
copy. I've volunteered to help with the news pages; you too can similarly
support some other section.
We all *do* need a national network to share links and information! FN

Announcing the version 3.2 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 636-page
print book. With 302 illustrative examples (including such goodies as an
anti-spammer script), the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.
This e-book contains printable reference cards, just like commercially
available computer tutorials.
The author invites comparisons with *any* commercially printed book on
shell scripting. His aim was to write "best of category" documentation.
"This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of
scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an
intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while
sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore. It serves
as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference
and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The
exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader
participation, under the premise that the only way to really
learn scripting is to write scripts."
