thanks Phillip! Of coursing cutting umeme exobitant costs as much as possible is on the agenda. Also Mr. Kasangaki (don't if he is on this list) has a great solution, sunde thin clients.. am thinking this might be better than Ncomputing clients. I have had people saying the Ncomputing clients break down a lot :(
Am very interested in using ubuntu since there is great local support. Not only that Internet cafe is currently called Obuntu cafe.. with inspirational quotes from the ubuntu philosophy, such as "When I GIVE to you, I GIVE to me" I will check out mkahawa. Thank you very much. John On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 5:35 PM, Phillip Simbwa <[email protected]> wrote: > >1.
