Ask About the Iraqi LUG

Posted by Roblimo on from the Linux-everywhere-for-everyone dept.

Yes, there is a Linux Users Group in Iraq. When it was first mentioned on Slashdot it only had two members. It's grown a little since then, as has The Iraqi Linux Group Portal. Adam Davidson, an American reporter in Baghdad who helped start the group, has agreed to answer your questions about Linux in Iraq. Please post only one question per comment. We'll email Adam 10 of the highest-moderated questions, and post his answers verbatim (except for HTML formatting) when he gets them back to us.

    Hopefully we can learn from mistakes like this

    The problem is that we don't. Its not just Iraq. We've supported many such regimes. Hell, we gave the Taliban the weapons they needed to come into power! In the last two years, we've toppled two regimes we helped to create! Hindsight may be 20/20, but those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
