guys,
this is an excerpt that i found going through the LG aug 2002 issue
maybe this could also be used as one of the arguments for LAP project
" Pakistan is getting into the Open Source game too. 50,000 Pentium
IIs running GNU/Linux are being installed in schools and colleges
all over Pakistan, at a cost of less than US$100 each.
"Proprietary software for these PCs would cost a small fortune.
Surely more than what the computers cost!" "
.along with this it states that many latin american countries are looking
for moving into linux and billgates have been giving the donations so that
they do not move on to opensource since it may have cascading effect.
bye
abhishek
