Average yearly income per-capita in Sub-Saharan Africa is $2,041.00 per year: http://global-growing.org/en/content/fact-7-about-three-quarters-african-population-live-less-2-half-population-less-125-day If somebody in Africa manages to cannibalize a few Pentiums, mix and match parts to produce a functional computer, and find a way to afford the 300 watts it costs to run it for an hour or so a week, such a person would be mighty thankful for a good 32 bit Linux. Must be nice, living in the West, to assume the disposable income to buy a new car every 15 years or buy a computer every 10 years, but there are places where such things are scarce and competed over. There are places in this world where an Amish buggy, let alone a 1992 Chevy Lumina, would be an unaffordable luxury, and I have a feeling the inhabitants of those places are what KatolaZ was talking about.
