He is most welcome here in Davao.  You might want to save some money on the freight 
charges and just let him visit me.  I have RedHat 8.0, Debian and Knoppix.

He can start his own company here in Davao. He can organize a sweat shop here.  You 
find the contracts in the USA and have him do the coding here.  Labor is cheap here. 
He can easily organize a team for it.  There are two companies here that are 
successful with the setup I mentioned.

I would say it is RedHat.
