1st day

we took the 7:15 train from Cairo and arrived in el Menya @ 10:20. we were staying at The Gam3eyet El Sa3eed hotel in Abu Qurqas, so we decided to have breakfast first in Menya then head to Abu Qurqas.

We met a fellow Linux user from Menya (Dr. Ahmed), who knew us from the photos, he invited us to breakfast and we had a small talk on how EGLUG can help in doing a seminar about FOSS in the Menya university, which Dr. Ahmed and his collegues will try to organize.

The 4th visit to Menya as part of the project with ArabDev.

The EGLUG volunteers this time will be: Alaa, Manal and MohammedSameer.

The first day, we'll go to the schools to get feedback from the teachers, and configure the pcs (especially the arabic interface and fonts).

Hi EGLUG,

I am a student in FCIS - faculty of computers and information sciences - Ain shams Univ.

In our Collage we study C# as the main programming Lang. That is good .. But I like Linux .. and started learning programming on it . but a thought came to my brain ! !! !!

In C#, I Would be able to earn Money . even while my studing time !!!! but underlinux programming . How would i earn the money !!??

Peace!

While booting, the last line I have is marked with FAILED not OK. I could not read the message because it disappears in a second. Is there any possibility with which I can see the last line which appears while booting, so I can tell you about it. How may I have a screen shot of it (I know I am still booting and have not yet even strted the login process)?

Thank you for ur time,

M B
