The entire institute using GNU/Linux !!

Well, not really, but in a way they are.
We use DC++(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC%2B%2B) for all our file sharing needs. A central DC++ hub is required to transfer requests between peers. Previously it used to be hosted on some Windows machines in the hostels. Now, thanks to Roshan’s vision, the GLUG(http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in) server runs opendchub (http://opendchub.sourceforge.net/), and everyone connects to it. It is now very easy to publicise GNU/Linux through periodic broadcast messages. Nice move Roshan :)
