(RedHat used to call Linux 9 for RedHat 9 release). But I didn't like the way he talked about Sarath. I don't think that was the right way to encourage some one like Sarath. Baishampayan,

He said that he started with Linux 9 years back. You just failed to understand what he actually meant. Just FYI. BG Kumar is not talking about “Linux 9”.

Pls dont rule out people whom you dont know at all.

Exactly !! This is what I have to remind you in case of Sarath. I am sure you don’t know Sarath either.

>>I can bet my contribution to FOSS is 10 times yours. I first started on linux 9 years back and in the last 9 years I have given back “much more” than an average lug poster.

I never claimed my contribution is more than yours (and I don’t know you first of all — you don’t even provide a link to somewhere).

I’m happy if you have given back “much more” than an average blug poster. But is this the discussion about ?

I repeat Sarath is not a cheat . Are you a self-assigned judge of all the foss community members ?
RMS is not cheat
ESR is also not cheat
…..
Sarath is cheat
Praveen has not given anything back to community

I’m interested to know more about your judgement on other foss members.

What do you think about Atul Chitnis, Gopal V, Biju Chacko … ? It will be nice to see your ratings.

When did you start this rating thing ?

Is it your profession or what ?

Iam sure you do not know me. Pls dont rule out people whom you dont know at all. I can bet my contribution to FOSS is 10 times yours. I first started on linux 9 years back and in the last 9 years I have given back "much more" than an average lug poster. I/my friends too have interacted with Sarath. He has NOT created a distro. He never could answer some basic questions. First time when I talked to him he was just asking for money for his broadband !!! Cmon lets face it. He may have some talent but he should take credit only for what he has done and not for what is has not done. Iam little late on the reply, but let me reply. Iam sure you do not know me.

I can work with that Edu-GNU project. It will be nice to see educational institutions using GNU/Linux. It will also encourage students who are interested in experimentational type (Hacking) learning. Actually, when i was Ist out with SLYNUX, I didn't have much idea about freesoftware. Then I was aware only about Free software was something that gives right to modify, distribute software. So I was truely blind then. But now..I'm really understood the needs of FS. That's why I'm now interested in including FS in School. Okay.. I can work with that Edu-GNU project.

I have met him and talked too. I chat with him regularly. You don't know anything, dude. What more do you expect from a 11th standard boy ? He has made his own distro, Do you have one ? OR do you have any contribution to FOSS to talk about ? I agree that the media has created a hype. <b> It is not the problem of Sarath, but the media</b>. They think what he did is a great thing, and I agree it is not a simple thing for a 10th standard guy. No journalist who interviewd him or wrote about him know even what free software is about. In the beginning even Sarth was not aware of the basic things, but that does not keep him the same way always. He is a hacker and he has learned many things now. >>He is just out to make money by creating a sympathy with his age. This is absolutely rubbish. Totally wrong. Who are you to judge Sarath ?

Many people, including me, who have interacted with him have realized the same. Catch him on his yahoo messenger and ask him couple of basic technical questions and decide for yourself.
