I have heard many reports of government agencies strongly promoting open source, especially in the southwestern state of Kerala. In some places it has even reached the point that it's entirely displaced Windows and MS Office for many agencies. The private sector could be a very different story, however, and I really don't know what its current state is. Let us know what you find out if you travel there! -Ben Hi Keith,
