Caselet nokia planning network operating centre: maran

our Bureau
Chennai, Aug. 1
NOKIA plans to set up a network operating centre in India, and that could possibly come
to Chennai.
The centre would do remote monitoring of its network operating system in the Asian
region. “We are expecting a statement from Nokia in this regard,” Mr Dayanidhi Maran,
Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology, said.
Asked on Intel’s plans for manufacturing in India, Mr Maran said, “Hold on. They will
have to come here.”
It may be recalled that media reports have speculated on Intel’s interest in a manufacturing
plant in India and the sops it has been expecting from the government.

1.7 summary

In order to be able to complete the installation procedure smoothly, you should collect certain
information about your system before beginning the installation. First, determine what kind of
hardware you have. Prepare a checklist to assist you. A server installation removes all existing
partitions on all installed hard drives, so only choose server installation if you’re sure you have
nothing you want saved. If you are building your dual-boot server on a new computer, be sure
to install and configure Windows first. By default, Windows doesn’t recognize any of the native
Linux filesystems. But, there are third-party utilities that allow Windows to read the drives of
a Linux installation on the same machine. Different types of installation methods are available.
You can select any one from them. All commercial Linux distributors provide some level of paid
support, though the support period may vary widely from one distributor to another. Linux
systems can be installed with a full complement of graphical tools, or as a minimal text-based
system. The installers follow suit, providing options to complete an installation from a graphical
environment, or from a purely text-based environment.
