I was recently approached by the Musoma Municipal Mayor regarding setting up a computer labs for two secondary schools of Musoma. On my budget of twenty computers lab, I apportioned half i.e. ten computers to be installed of Ubuntu 12.04 which are free and remaining ten with Genuine Windows 7 Starter Operating System that each cost US $ 70.00.
