ELCOT has brought back Student laptop offer. It’s a Linux based (SUSE Linux) laptop, with a nice configuration, and an excellent price tag.
They’ve lined up a very impressive set of software applications as part of the default install.
If you’re a student(including ones doing a correspondence course), and are planning to buy a laptop, you can order one online at

Even if you’re not buying , you might want to see the funny picture of the evaluation process ( What strange tests people do 
). One of the models seem to be from Acer.
They’re purchasing about 1 lakh laptops, so, it would add 1 lakh linux laptops to tamilnadu linux users population.

Quick note:
VenkatT had written short post about Do Not Call registry.
If you are in India, and suffer from these telemarketers calling you with all nice offers that you don’t want, register for DND immediately. it would take 45 days before they stop calling you ( hopefully 
).
For Airtel just send SMS START DND to 121.
I’ve registered mine. did you?
