Can you think of a better way to spread the use of Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| Camfed International, UK, contracted 1ViLLAGE
| to set up 48 seats of Ubuntu Linux desktops in
| four districts in the Northern Region of Ghana.
| They also provided user training for the
| project. I reproduce here some photos of the
| computers as posted by @opentechgirl. The
| question I'd like you to help me answer is, can
| you think of a better way to bring Linux to
| Africa?

5 reasons why you must support the spread of Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Source Software guarantees quality
| closed source software
| It is very ironic but true. Without enormous
| pressure from mostly freely available and
| quality OSS, most closed source software
| would have just been junk. For instance,
| without pressure and competition from Linux,
| Windows 7 would not have been such a polished
| and nice software. OSS keeps closed source
| software developers on their toes in the
| knowledge that there is always some
| alternative available to users should they
| get it wrong.
|
| Open Source Software reduces cost
| Imagine your company in need of a particular
| software that is not available in the form it
| wants but there are others out there it can
| tweak to suit its needs. In this case, your
| company has two options, either build from
| scratch (which can be very expensive and time
| consuming) or grab the source code of an
| existing software and tweak it to their
| taste. Which would you prefer if you were the
| CFO?
