it's not very difficult to send CDs or Linux DVDs i guess... but helping financially is not advisable across the national boundaries. Because it kills the basic purpose of standing on your own and developing your own ecosystem. Usually it is good idea to raise your own finances by doing the basic hardwork by actually helping needy people, with Linux if *you* think it's spread is good for benefits of local population. Technical help in the form of problem solving is better way to help than any other kind.
Basic approach that works best is... if you somewhat know Linux and are actually using it for a good (what is good for you may not necessarily be good for person 10000 nautical miles from you and perceptions can be illusions), then try educating another interested person learn it. pass on all the knowledge you have of Linux to that person, guide and help wherever necessary. That way you would create another independant resource of Linux.... this will keep on growing till there is enough people to support your own cause through your network of hardworking individuals devoted for the cause of spreading Linux. In this case eventually the need for finances vanishes because there are enough volunteers. But again i would say... study your own local needs and choose appropriate path for spread of Linux. -- TIME: Truely I Mean E. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
