Ubuntu, Emma Bantu and Mobile Platform
We forget what Ubuntu has done to Africa.
Emma Bantu which is Xubuntu derivative is platform for mobile communication.
It is a known fact Mobile Technology has contributed immensely to African hinterland.
Emma Bantu in addition to all the Linux Utilities has a mobile platform for telecommunication for African communities including bushman if they are any left.
It has a wonderful educational utilities separated according to ages which is a very good idea implemented with lot of thought to universal approach to computing.
In addition it has support for French language.
In that sense Ubuntu Edge and Mobile platform was the right decision as far as the African continent is concerned.
The music supplement is an added bonus and Africans love music.
It was unfortunate that Ubuntu did not catch up in Africa in spite of its origin in South Africa.
I hope the new platform of Ubuntu would invigorate the African base.
Emma Bantu which is Ubuntu derivative has taken the lead as far as the old PC are concerned.
My only worry is who is going to keep the repositories of Ubuntu 12-04 running for it to be used for another decade.
Simply because Linux is moving fast for any guy or girl to keep pace.
