  • Abstract
    The impact of Linux on the developing world is, in many ways, even greater than on industrialized nations. The authors have used Linux productively in Pakistan in both academia and industry; here they detail what they learned in setting up an 84-seat Linux lab for undergraduate teaching, and how an ISP provider in Pakistan is using Linux to improve its services
