Hello,
It would've been nice to start a website where
people could refer to to find out all the practical issues of
installing / using FLOSS in Israel:
As I see it, the problem is maintaining the site, not the
initialization of it. Are crowd is small, the world is big, English
wise.
* A hardware DB where they can look up a device by
category (i.e. Motherboard) and check the compatibility sorted
by distro etc.
Google it, coping vendor specifications to the site is probably, not
the idea, and if there are no vendor specifications are are site
will have less then the net.
* A list of Israeli Linux friendly vendors
(including vendors outside Israel that are willing to ship
their products to Israel hustle free).
There are one and a half Pre-installed Linux PC/Laptops ready for
shipment. But, by the time one of us gets an experience of the
ordeal, it will not be relevant to another. First two in
http://linuxpreloaded.com ie. System76, ZaReason are the famous
ones, don't know if and how it gets to IL, but even if I did it
would probably not be relevant to the next guys' purchase. How often
do we as a community do that? We would be better of just searching
"Pre Installed Linux Desktop" & contacting one off the sites
from http://linuxpreloaded.com.
* Distro specific Installation Guides, pointing
out any common pitfalls.
There are tones of sites for that, sum in Hebrew, which I think is a
shame because of the reasons above. Computer installations is
English it would be better if all those sites would do only the
Hebrew specific sitings & problem solving.
Such sites might exist out there in the Net,
Yep, we have a lot of redundancy, we do not need to duplicate the
web.
but none of them are Israeli specific or in
Hebrew and don't hold all the a fore mentioned features in one
place...
Face it IT/SYSADMIN is in English.
Another plus is the fact that the content will be
socially contributed - by the users themselves.
That will be nice.
See in line :-)
