and here is a business opportunity to those of you who have no jobs but extensive hebrew enabled linux knowledge. Go to some of the small computers shops in your area and offer them linux installation on the computers they sell for $10 / piece or even for free. They'll be able to sell their PCs cheaper because they don't have to pay to MS and they can offer support to their customers using your expertise. Be the NextDoorKid for some money. In the meanwhile work together with other similar people in other areas of the country to improve the hebrew part of the distros. Is there big money in this ? I don't think so but if you are successfull after a while you can make a nice living with linux. I wonder if anyone out there is doing this already ? -- Gabor ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
