About Me

Hello, I am Tarun Kumar Mall from Uttar Pradesh State, India. I am pursuing Computer Science Engineering from my state college. I like programming very much. C and C++ are my favourite programming languages, and I am pretty much familiar with web designing in JAVA and HTML. I m working on a software that can accept a po file and generate a po file from english to hindi translation, by using google translator in C and JAVA.
My one friend introduced me to Linux. I was windows user before it and was extremely frustated by viruses and poor performance of C compilers. Initially I had little bit problems with Linux, but slowly i started liking it. Fast working, free from virus environment and geeks at ubuntu forum made me to switch to Linux completely and now I use only Linux.
Only thing I still don't understand is why people are not using Linux even if it is completely free.

My Contribution

I actually have no contributions that i can mention here. I usually help my friends who are new to linux and ask them to try it once, and help them so that they keep on trying for sometime. After that they'll never go back.
