Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Open Cyber Café Challenge

Hey Bruce, Ubuntu is a pretty popular distribution with a great desktop environment plus a bunch of cybers already use it. It's a while since I've used it but I'd definitely recommend it. Fedora is also worth taking a look at. I hear it's friendlier since Gnome 3.0 desktop got included from Fedora 15. (though I've used 13 and 14 only). I'd also put Mint on the list. I've never used it and I don't thinkI've been in a cyber running Mint. But I hear it's pretty good. I'll be meeting up with a couple of guys - end of January - interested in setting up an Open Cyber Café Challenge in Kenya and Linux distros will probably be in our agenda; it would be great if you could drop by. --Alex ________________________________ Hi guys,hope you had super holidays , am just waking up from the slumber ,now on matters opensource i have a friend who is running xp with cybercafe pro ,as you may be aware Microsoft is working with GoK i.e anti-piracy agency to mek sure guys get genuine software starting yesterday ....so the mad rush to move to opensource platform ,having said that am brainstorming on the best Linux distro that can be customized to look 'window like' cz thats what non geek community are comfy with ,AND the cyber management software i can integrate with ,Alex and Co......any sugestions                                                                                                    Bruce.
