Subject: Linux Without Borders

Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 08:48:20 -0500 (EST)
Linux Without Borders is an E-list dedicated to discussion and implementation of the vision that in countries whose citizens are not yet rich enough to own Personal Computers(PCs), computers must be *shared*; and that the way to enable sharing while preserving individual privacy is to install Linux, a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system, on PCs owned cooperatively, or by businesses.

This will enable citizens to establish their own accounts on a commonly owned, or rented, computer, where they can do all the things that citizens of wealthier countries can do: write, do accounts, and -- perhaps most important -- use "their" computer to communicate with other people, in their own country and throughout the world.
