Ginger step towards Linux
J. Murali writes a weekly column in The Hindu, which used to be called NetSpeak. He writes about very useful and interesting web applications. Fortunately not in that awful racy style that goes around as cool. I came across a paper cutting of his column in which he wrote about DyneBolic, a GNU/Linux operating system that can be booted from a CD. That sounds pretty easy to handle. I want to try out this version of Linux before sinking my teeth deeper. Wish me luck!

This time my long silence can be attributed to real problems. My wife had to undergo an emergency surgery for ectopic pregnancy. That was a close call. After a bit of rest here in Chennai, she decided to go to Bangalore to be with our folks, and, then, the gall bladder stones started giving her problems. She is back in hospital again. Yesterday they removed the gall bladder by laproscopy. I couldn't go to Bangalore. I will be going later to bring her and my daughter back.
