I live in Accra (Ghana) and my broadband connection is decent, not to mention affordable - I'm paying for it out of my student allowance. Vodafone has gone to some lengths to make fast broadband connections easily accessible here so maybe you should get one for whoever it is you're trying to help. Zain and iBurst have 5 megabit per second an 7.2 megabit per second packages available although they should cost more than Vodafone's. AFAIK, the DVD iso is basically the CD iso with additional language support so unless you want to use some exotic language, the CD image will do. > I was wondering if the DVD install supports Burmese?

Hey, maybe you should donate some spare time into translating your favorite apps into Burmese. :) -- Odzangba, Blog: http://odzangba.wordpress.com Registered Linux User #431909 Registered Linux Machines: #337242 #363374 #392526</body></html>
