All online options will be affected by the RIDICULOUS cost of participation due to the poor or lousy internet services available in Uganda. Short of hosting linuxzoo with Mr Renier and negotiating a reduced connection charge for only surfing websites hosted in country, I don't see linuxzoo as a feasible way to teach Linux on a large scale.

Its a virtualised environment for people who want to get started and learn linux without installing it first. The way I understood Geoffrey's question is whether it can be used for production systems. Answer: "Your simulated machine is effectively a 200 MHz processor (e.g a Pentium 200), with 512 MBytes of RAM." Regards, Rocco On 20/01/2012 1:58 PM, David M.

By Linuxzoo I assume that you mean any Linux Distribution and if you want an in-depth assessment of the various distributions then try this link http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20120116#news (but you will have a lot of reading to do) other wise consider Linux like a religion and any Linux consultant will always recommend his own favourite distribution without really knowing why. If your question is about of remote ICT services? Then I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use any available services assuming you have the corresponding network connections and access passwords.- but tell us what ICT services you were thinking of ???
