In an article published by LinuxToday volounteer Michael Taylor asks if
Linux is right for Africa. Taylor is going to Ghana in two weeks to set up
IT solutions for schools and clinics. He is now seeking advice whether to
use an open or propietary solution to the African IT needs. Taylor is
anxious not to sacrifice the Ghana children on the shrine of the free
software principle and is looking for input on this issue.
