Open Source Software means. The source code will be available for the end-user to modify
according to his/her requirements.

The Best known open-source is Linux. The source code is freely available on net. You can
modify it after downloading.

Its not only linux but u can find many open source i will provide u the list….

List of open source software packages

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ope……

However, the answer leads to further questions.

Since you provide the source to your customers does this imply that you are unable to create and
.exe executable module? Or do you provide both an executable module AND the source?

Does the customer run the program interpretively, or do they then compile it with their own
compiler?

I am installing Debian (Linux) to my PC.. I have a CD rom. The last stage of installation, it ask me to fill in the apt-sources so that I can get extra packages from the internet. In my polyteck, I was told to type in
:
deb http://kate.tekotago.ac.nz:9999/debian stable main
deb:http://kate.tekotago.ac.nz:9999/security stable/updates main

The lines will go into a text file etc/apt/source.list
but outside the Polytek, the kate server doesn’t work.
What should I type then?
Pls note that the answers should includes directories not just mirror sites. That is, 2 sentences that I can fill in the source.list. I have tried replacing the http.kate.otago.ac.nz with ftp.nz.debian.org and it didn,t work.
