  1. Re:No net connection? by Gary+van+der+Merwe · · Score: 1 · on Wikipedia Releases Offline CD

    You have never been to South Africa where internet is slow and expensive due to a monopoly[1]. I'm sure this will find it way onto the freedom toasters[2] where anyone can take a blank cd and get a copy burnt...

  2. Re:Also, A DVD player without DVD is not a product by eugene_roux · · Score: 1 · on HP's Windows Bundle Trouble

    Assuming HP shipped you a PC with absolutely no O.S. installed, how exactly would you go about downloading this wonderful free O.S.?

    In South Africa we have a special name for the solution to your quandary. We call them Freedom Toasters and will allow you to burn a complete Linux distro while you wait.

    We have them all over the country at various sites, such as Shopping Centres and the like.

    Sometimes living in a Third World country with crappy international internet connectivity isn't all bad...

  6. Re:It would be nice if they actually sent out CD's by metro012 · · Score: 2, Informative · on New Ubuntu Foundation Announced

    My family's experience has been good--they've recieved their CDs rather quickly. You might want to encourage your local library to get a Freedom Toaster (http://www.freedomtoaster.org/ ). My mother-in-law was thrilled to see her small-town, South African library get one recently (http://charlvn.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_charlvn_ar chive.html ).
    It's a great help for getting installation CDs since few people there have high-speed internet yet.
