RE: Amr Khaled and Linux

[Abdulaziz Al-Arfaj <alarfaj0 at yahoo dot com>]

Salam,

Where is the Life Makers organization headquartered? Or are they an online
organization?

Before we can help their efforts we should give them a demonstration of some
Linux Distro. Amr Khaled is currently residing in Beirut and I seem to be
Arabeyes' Man-On-The-Ground in .lb, but is the Life Makers organization
stationed there too? if so maybe I can facilitate a few things if that is
necessary.

Muhammed Sameer is making his own live CD and so are the LLUG, but I really
don't want to see any sort of competition here. Hopefully both will be
available, along with Arabbix if need be.

Abdulaziz,
