Re: Cuba adopts Linux

Hi!
I can say that Cuba is a great provider of ideas for *nix system. They have
a long time using those OS and making some great ideas happens. The only
trouble I see is that they can afford a huge pc, so they use things like
gentoo, DML, puppy and rarely ubuntu (old versions).
I help them a long time. I even sent to them some cd/dvd with digital books,
tutorials and repos for their issues. I was going to send them some fedora
media... but I read that they couldn't use it. (please... correcte if I'm
wrong)
I thinkg that they do a lot with few resources... and have realy great
ideas; we could get some tips of that.

From technical point of view they may use Fedora with xfce for
computers with few resources. But I think the bigger issue is Cuba as
a embargoed destination. I won't emit any opinion on this matter as it
is a Political issue. Distros based on USA won't send any material to
Cuba.

But I am happy that they are taking steps for FOSS.
Best regards.
