[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fedora Free Media Project

[Pablo Barrera Franco [Fedora Ambassador]]

Yes, its a good idea, but the computer sellers is another kind of 
situation. Builders needs some support around the retail Linux 
installed. In argentina
exists two providers for builders. If you dont get the correct lead to 
Builders its impossible. The most important possibility is create a 
retail edition DVD
and some little enterprises around the countries give commercial support 
for the distribution. So this money get (in argentina gets until U$S 4-8 
per host installed year support)
part of this money can be delivered to burn more DVDs to give for all 
people around that.

The solution resides on get money to spread Fedora. This is my point of 
view, of course.
Best Regards
PabloBarrera
