As I said earlier, I'm in the process of setting up an rpm-based repo here in Accra. More and more people in my neighborhood have installed Linux but lack a decent internet speed. We've also established a site that would hopefully bring more Linux lovers and tech users to a single location to help us take on more prolific tasks and projects. Join http://thinkersgh.com and share your knowledge. Hello my fellow Techies, like I said earlier the move to a more Open world, and in effect an open Ghana is rather gradual but at least on course.

Again the emphasis should be on how fast,stable and virus free it is.ie Lubuntu_9_10_Lynxis. There should also be access to softwares like crossweave and win4lin. that i believe will be a start. finally, why is it so difficult to get a linux programmer here in Ghana. pls let me know if you know anyone that good. ok, now i like all the talk about linux and spreading the word. but has anybody stop to ask why lot of people are not looking the linux way.
