Subject: [SLUG] Indonesia is poor.

Hi,

Indonesia has benn struck by more then monetry woes. The mark of the
dictator hurts everones stomachs.

I lived with a few Indonesians and they were keen to see new things. Most
of the techno junkies had not even heard about Linux.
They were eager to set up things like www servers and the like, but
telephone calls are timed there and with a 13% inflatioin per month, not
much may be spared for phone calls !

Anyways when over there my friends asked more and more about Linux. They
liked the idea of an OS uprising, relates to their own ideas of struggle. 
So I said I would ask people I know wether they could spare a copy of
Linux on cd for them.
So far I have two people who are intensly interested. They live in the
same suberb, and hence may help each other out with problems. Like I said
phone access is limited by a poor pocket, so downloading the latest
version of Linux, let alone e-mailing for help would be currently out of
the question.

So I was wondering wether anyone could donate  Linux cd sets and
literature, perhaps get some interest where there origionally was only MS
OS. Two sets would be ideal, but they can share too.

Thanks ...
Matt
