18. Problems to Implement
• Weaning users from the traditional tools they
are accustome to.
• Study well before use.
• Patience
• Hardware specific Softwares
• Well Internet/LAN connectivity
21. Our Contribution in F/OSS
• We are the Various Linux ISO Image Tester
and Distributor
• Educator
• Developer
• Implementation Support Provider
• Institute MOODLE Administrator
• Desktop/Server Administration Support
Provider
•
We have own Mirror Server
22. Suggestions
• We can move User Desktop from Proprietary Software to
Linux Desktop
• Encourage to use Open Office, Firefox (CrossPlatform)
• Use LowHardware Machine with LTSP
• IP Chains to Setup Firewall, Squid for distribution of
bandwidth and SARG to monitor its consumption
• Linux Apache MySQL PHP for Programming Environment
• Webmin for System Administration and NTOP to manage
and monitor the entire Network
• Backup on NAS using FreeNAS and OpenFiler
• EMail Server using QMail
• Library on Koha Software
