Linux On The Desktop?
,----[ Quote ]
| While Linux based systems drive some cell
| phones and can be found in ordinary PCs,
| the primary competition between Red Hat and
| Novell has been in the âenterprise space,â
| that segment of the software universe which
| focuses on linking business users to
| databases. Now, Red Hat has announced its
| intention to move into the âbusiness
| desktopâ market with a new series of
| adaptations. According to Red Hat, âThis
| will be a more comprehensive offering that
| will target markets like the small and
| medium-sized business [SMB] sector and
| emerging markets. Part of this strategy is
| to get the desktop more to the masses than
| our existing client is getting today.â
|
| [...]
|
| Itâs a great operating system, but plug-
| and-play functionality for home computers
| isnât there yet. And neither Red Hat nor
| Novell have any intention of invading the
| home consumer âspace.â For now, theyâre
| content to battle it out by expanding their
| business-based products.

Using Linux again - on an Acer Aspire 250D
,----[ Quote ]
| So, I wanted to use Linux again and decided to
| give it a try. I first tried to install
| Mandriva 2010.0 on it but it would hang on
| booting after the installation was
| successfully completed. Looking around I found
| many people having the same problem but no
| solution as it's a bug in this release. I
| found the hint of using 2009.1 instead and
| tried that and it worked.

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?
