you could check the latest version 4.0. i would, however, suggest that yoy
give your postal address and ask for a copy. you can send a mail to
bosslinux@... or to my id srinivasans@...

as of now, the "crap" has been used
(a) to generate photo i-cards by tripura electoral commission -- gimp on
boss platform was the alternative chosen for ms & photoshop in 400 plus
desktops used by at least twice the no of operators/govt staff. training,
implementation, usage and final delivery were done in 2 1/2 months, thanks
to support from Tripura IT Directorate and some of their enthusiastic
members.
(b) in 130 plus desktops in BSNL Hyderabad who floated a tender for linux
compatible desktops, opting for BOSS compatibility certification. The
vendor may not be keen on resolving driver and related issues, but cdac hyd
and the active/knowledgeable in-house team are working together to ensure
sustained operations.
(c) other installations include Indian Navy, some of the NIC centres, etc.,
issues arise -- work is being done on getting them resolved.
