These guys are selling themselves as the best linux solution provider in the Middle East.
5 Minutes on their site and I was about to go postal. It has to be one of the hardest to navigate,
worst designed sites I have ever used.
Content management systems being abused just for the sake of using a CMS.
<sigh> Would you buy a linux solution from these people?
As an aside they host the local lug mailing list. When subscribing up their list machine
automatically sends you a pdf of propaganda. <blech>
On the plus side, Anti-US sentiment is certainly helping the spread of linux over here. Coupled with
a large base of computer illiterates, it's a good platform to teach computer virgins about other
operating systems off the bat. No griping about the missing start bar or icon for "the internet".
