One that is assembled here with parts imported from elsewhere or one whose main components, e.g. mothr boards and support circuitry are assembled here? If it's the former it's done all the time. I must have done it may times myself.
Are you assembling PC running linux on a commercial scale or just one or two for your buddies? My plan is to start with all the components, mother boards and all to be imported, since theres a glut of hardware and computer component worldwide, then identify which components can be made in the Philippines profitably from scratch until I reached 100% Philippine made, if this is feasible since even Dell and Compaq imports most of there components from Taiwan, China, Indonesia or Malaysia. >Why would you want to do it in the first place? Whats the motivation? Because nobody is doing it in a commercial scale and there's no big corporation pushing for the open source in the Philippines. PLUG can only do so much if nobody will start this idea, open source is doom in the Philippines. In addition profit. It's the single most powerful motivation as far as I am concern. Profit is what makes the whole world go round and it's what drive people to push themselves to the limit. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!
