Debian Derivative BOSS Linux being mandated by Tamil Nadu state gov't in India

[Collin Kewanee <collin.kewanee@gmail.com>]

As far back as 2011, the Indian gov't recommended the transition to open

is the first state to mandate the installation of BOSS Linux, a Debian

Derivative from the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC).
