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. > Questions: > > 1.

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.
