Kudos to World renowned FEDORA Project !

Let me introduce myself..... I am Bhaskar. I would call myself a Software guy who till now is not much familiar with the Fedora architecture, but who knows how to use it well. I am quite impressed by the motto of the Open Source Software because of many reasons, but the one which really captures my mind is, "It provides an opportunity to any technical person in the world to contribute his/her skills !"


A Short Story

It was March 30th 2008 !

I got up at 6:00 am and turned on my new Laptop (HP dv2601tu) which I purchased the previous day. It came with "Windows Vista Home Premium" version pre-installed. My friend had called me the night before who suggested me to format the disk and install a fresh copy of "Windows Vista Ultimate", the pirated copy of which he had.

Taking his suggestion into consideration, I formatted the disk and started with the installation of Windows Vista Ultimate using the pirated CD. To my surprise, when the installation reached a point where it says, Completing Installation... and the three dots keep running as if something is in progress, the system hanged up for nearly half hour. I thought may be Windows Vista Ultimate takes a long time to install, since it was my first experience installing Windows Vista and left the system untouched for nearly 2 long hours. Still the same ugly Completing Installation...

Mind you I re-tried, doing this for the next 3 days and could do nothing other than watch my new Laptop lying useless in an ustable state.
