Plain old win 7..after formating the said drive with the wintoflash..the system started hanging and so i eventually force shut the machine when task manager failed to restart explorer.. So now when i power on the machine it goes to the bios window and only letter J and a blinking cursor can be seen..done all the diagnostic test available at the bios level bt they all say that everything is ok.. Any ideas on how to proceed are welcome..

Local Linux kernel contributors
by Patrick Kariuki 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

If we could generate enough interest in the use and development of Linux at an early stage, then we could nature adequate talent(individual developers) required to draw interest from research and development investors like IBM and Intel in Kenya. Microsoft as you might have read is now an active contributor to the development of the Linux Kernel.
