Fun on an IBM pSeries system, and the Khanda-ta saga ends
Posted by Sayamindu 4 years, 3 months ago
Finally we got a Linux LiveCD running on an IBM pSeries box (two PowerPC 64 processors, 2 gigs of RAM, two 36 GB SCSI disks - fun stuff). Only downside is that it makes a lot of noise, which kind of gets more and more irritating - especially if you have to sit and work before the monster. The next immediate plan is to Bangla enable the system (Indra-da suggests that the title of the blog entry should be “Bangla goes enterprise”, but that sounds too much marketing-speak like for a blog entry 
). There are also a few other (read “more ambitious”) plans for the system, but I won’t comment much on those until I have verified a few other things :).
The khanda-ta has finally been approved by the UTC, which means that from the next version of the Unicode standard, there will be a seperate code point for Khanda-ta. No more ZWJ or ZWNJ hacks. Yay!! Kudoes to all those who were involved (especially Prof. Gautam Sengupta) for making this happen.
