Hi folks, I'm just installing Linux (either Mandrake 9.1 or SuSE 8.2 - not sure which yet) and OpenOffice etc for a family of new immigrants to Canada.
They have bought a used PC that is set up to install Windows, but has no licence. So, I'm planning to install Linux for them (funds are constrained, plus the usual reasons). Luis understands some English but doesn't yet speak it well. His wife even less. Because there is much explaining to do, the language will probably present additional difficulties. I'll do what I can with house calls, but telephone support will be difficult. Luis is an architect, but has to undergo retraining before becoming self-sufficient. He needs to interoperate with others who are using MS Excel, Word etc. I'm looking for someone who knows Linux and Spanish, and is willing to provide some assistance with the language difficulties, probably by telephone would be OK. I think he can pay a modest amount if necessary. Can someone offer to help, please?
