I can confirm (after talking to my Lawyers) that the above is true. :-) One thing I want to strongly emphasize.� EACOSS is good for Uganda. and good for East Africa. I actually think they are not zealous enough.� At a minimum they should have "Windows burning day" once a month, where for every CD of Windows you hand in for burning you get a free CD of Linux. They should be the GreenPeace of software. They would be saving the country money by not sending scarce dollars to redmond. Unfortunately here in Uganda to get anything into peoples heads, it has to have a football associated with it. Can you imagine how much FOSS would be advanced if two or three premiership players came over and handed out a few CDs and said virtually nothing!!� The way we have jumped hook line and sinker into things like valentines day would pale in comparison to the madness that would grip FOSS adoption in Uganda if Pires, Ljungberg, Baros and Rooney said FOSS was good for your PC. So for all views on EACOSS let us start from that view (they are like Vitamins) they are good for the body. Then you can move in whatever direction you want. **************** � � � � � � � � � ***************************** Kiggundu Mukasa� � � � � � � � # Computer Network Consultancy### KYM-NET LTD. � � � � � � � � � # Intranets & Internet Solutions# Plot 80 Kanjokya Street P.O.
