About

I am Jain Basil Aliyas, a Computer Science Engineering student from Govt. Engineering College, Thrissur. I am a  FLOSS enthusiast, and a contributor for KDE and Scribus. I am one among the Ambassadors of Fedora Project from India and an active member of Free Software Users’ Group, Thrissur.

Not that much, I enjoy music a lot and play Keyboard ( I am a proud owner of YAMAHA PSR 350 ). Also I am addicted to Classical Music( do some sort of compositions too).It is my dream to have a KORG TR Music Workstation (I don’t know how much I have to wait for this ). Another 2 members which add colour to my life is my bike Hero Honda Glamour PGM-Fi and my Nokia 7210 Supernova phone.

My Machines

During my school days, I used to consider computers as something that can perform great things and I never knew that it was the power of man which did all these things. As I entered into my high school classes, they gave us training in programming languages and html ( not into PROgramming….only into simple stuffs like arithmetic operations…). Now I am doing engineering in Computer Science, I realized that my computer is just a “Machine” which performs some operations on my command.

I own a Sony Vaio CS14-G/B Laptop and an assembled Desktop (Intel Core2Duo, 2GB RAM,160 GB HDD, Intel Original Motherboard…) with Fedora 10 Cambridge and Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope installed on them.Some programs that you will find always/frequently running are Kopete, Amarok, Konversation, Okular, Konsole and KDevelop.I love to be in Enlightenment, Gnome and KDE according to my need/mood. Sometimes, I use Awesome too.
