Hi folks, I'll be heading to Tanzania in November of this year to visit some friends and help out with the installation of some computers in a girl's school in Kijota. The computers will be windows xp or vista, I'm afraid, unless I can make a good case for something else. I'd like to make the case for Ubuntu and having Kiswahili available would be an excellent starting point. Is there a Kiswahili translation for Ubuntu? trico
I am very happy to find a forum of our own. I look forward to meeting new people here and talk more about our lovely country. In fact, the rainy season is back! ==================== Teqwan A Very Powerful Search Engine <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
This is really good. At least Kenyans from all over the globe can link up here and talk about anything and everything. I hope we can steer away from tribalism and talk about the real issues affecting us. Such as poverty, unemployment, politics and general issues. Let us get this thing going. ================================================== ======================================== Antonia A Very Powerful Search Engine. Google

Hello The weather is muddy as we are now experiencing the short rains which will last for two to three months.The rains are a welcome respite after the heat and dust of September. As well as ensuring that the crops do not fail.Our roads are flooded due to clogged drains not to mention non existent drainage systems. ======================= daniella raine very powerful search engine Google)
HABARI ZENU, My dear Kenyan and non Kenyan friends , I have tested jaunty with most modems available here in Kenya , they provide fast access to the internet but the operator pricing are somewhat not cool , but since the landing of the fibre optic cable some few isp's have decided to lower their charges. am just patient enough to test the speeds once the whole networks are connected to the fibre channel , once that is done slow internet will be a thing of the past and speeds will be able to reach 100mbps - 2gb ps on either adsl or wireless networks. In short the whole country will have true broadband experience. wish it luck
now ubuntu is gaining popularity this is happening very fast here in kenya because windows is a virus infected os if you dont install any anti-virus. So most people prefer virus free OS thats why they are turning to linux distros especially UBUNTU KARMIC KOALA. we are now actively advertising ubuntu in all social networking sites... I myself is advertising for all comps in kenya to have ubuntu as their main OS.... 2009- 2010 is a great year for ubuntu....here in kenya...
Good to hear that people are getting more and more interested.
