Its really good job you intend to do Zabil, of course
a humble deed is better than the noblest of the
thoughts.

 Introducing GNU/Linux has always been difficult task,
having a live distro great help.Most of my friends who
use Winblows or Sun Sparc's in office use knoppix to
get the feel of the GNU/Linux OS.

Secondly, remember there __is__ free software apart
from GNU/Linux, a cyber center fellow will certainly
jump to using firefox easily than GNU/Linux OS .Now,
browsing the net need not mean firing up IE.Carry
along a latest version of firefox or other free
software too.

They are developers working on Sun OS using a whole
lot of GNU packages, same can be said 'bout Winblow
with GNU tools CD.

 If there is anyone willing to spend a weekend evening
talking about Free Software or Stuff,we can surely
find a school to host one.

Any takers !!!! 

Cheers
