Well the interesting thing is that there is really very little familiarity even with Windows. I mean, yes, they've used it, but hardly to such a great extent that it is a big advantage.
Really, I suppose it is almost more of a practical question of hardware.. My preference is clearly Mac's, but how do you manage a company with hardware that isn't even available on the continent, much less the country. Keep a spare I suppose?
There is a humanitarian angle to the startup, that is to train and enable the Rwandans in a way that is very difficult to get here. But is that a wasted effort if you train them on an OS/hardware that is completely unavailable to them outsider your company? Is the added pain of Ubuntu worth it because of that?
- yannis 17y agoI am not surprised that there is going to be little familiarity with Computers and even Windows. I would definitely - not start with Ubuntu and forget about Mac's. Training will be the hard part. Focus on that and maintenability of equipment. Avoid laptops - they get stolen easily and battery packs fail fairly early. Wishing you good luck!
