BOSS: An initiative by the Govt of India

[sneezymelon]

Indian Govt Product- Of course it's vintage stuff. "Root ka ghar" is the only "innovation"

 

[Sushubh]

i guess since it is based on debian (i guess).... it would automatically update or perhaps not.

 

[sneezymelon]

Yup, it's Debian-based

Planned in 2007, launch in 2015?
Make In India: Now government to have its own operating system, may replace Microsoft Windows in future | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis

 

[Sushubh]

[Nishant]

Highlights of this OS:
1. Shuts down computer automatically if you search for non veg restaurants nearby
2. Calls local police station as soon as you type BEEF
3. Unfriends all muslim guys from your facebook friendlist
4. If you watch porn.. A dialog box will appear in which susu swami will shout at you calling you a sex maniac.

LOL.. They first pick a hindi word.

Convert it to nice English acronym and then declare it as something new launched!

I am sure its just a rebundled Linux with few kernel customization!

And they must have charged Government as if they developed whole new operating system from scratch!!

 

[itzmynet]

its not a new launch. already version 5 is released. Bharat Operating System Solutions | BOSSLinux

 

[amish]

Ah so Modi government is trying to take away one more credit from Congress by relaunching something which is already launched?!!
