Unless this third world country is the south side of Chicago you're very wrong. Over the summer I worked with a non-profit who's only mission was to get computers into the houses of people. we were working with <2gb of ram and hard drives that topped out at 50gb, I don't even want to think about the processor.
- Crito 13y agoI would say that doing it in small-scale bulk is a different animal than an individual doing it for them-self.
- rbanffy 13y agoThese machines seem like excellent candidates for running Linux with a light desktop environment. If the owners will not spend money on software that's Windows-specific (chances are they'll need modern browsers and Microsoft doesn't offer one for XP), why install Windows on them?
- vinceguidry 13y agoIf you want people to use the computers, you need a version of Windows. I'm not saying that Linux machines are unusable, just that normal people won't use them.
- vxNsr 13y agoSomething like this, even people who don't have a computer at home have used one at cafes and the library, these people generally don't have time to waste on learning a new interface.
