It's a good idea for him to apply to his local government, to explain what ReactOS is, and what are its benefits, especially for a country like Cuba.
For a start, someone spanish-speaking should exchange emails privately with him, and send him a few CDs - with our releases, with source code of an SVN tree, with RosBE, etc. The "ReactOS Starter Kit". Anyone volunteers?

What it seems Mr. Catala is trying to say is that he doesn't have fast enough Internet access in Cuba to download ReactOS from Sourceforge or our main site. His connection only runs 8 kilobits per second, which obviously isn't good enough for him to download the ISO. He might also be saying that he can't access SourceForge, due to Internet censorship, though it's vague because he seems to be using translation software.
Cuba has very restricted Internet access because the state owns most computers, Internet cafes are expensive, and it's heavily censored.
Mr. Catala is asking if someone could physically mail him a ReactOS disc, since he cannot download and burn the discs himself.

Andrew, thanks for answering my post. Sight, the only that it want to be the ISO of ReactOS and your withdrawal from circulation compilation in a CD to distribute in the FLISOL…
succeed that my country this limited in SourceForge and cannot unload this, also it have a connection to 8K/s for which it is staies and the discharges finish corrupt… therefore it asks that it collaborate with crumb and send the CD postal path ( not e-mail ).
Please do bear in mind ReactOS is in ALPHA, i.e. not suitable for
normal
use. If you want such a CD, my advice would be to download the debug
version of
reactos from the website and source code then burn the two files
(the ISO
and the zip file) to a CD.
ReactOS has one CD if I remember correctly, that does all
languages (If
I'm wrong please correct me)
Also, AFAIK ReactOS has no manuals, it has SOME documentation in
the wiki,
but overall it lacks much documentation.

Hi for all the ReactOS community, soon brings near to him the
FLISOL2010
and want to take the CD that appears in the ReactOS page, since the discharge from tub makes to him impossible for the limited
bandwidth
that has in the island...
Please if some interested party in collaborating, it need a CD
that it
contains the operative system ( in Spanish ), the source code of
ReactOS
and some manuals ( in Spanish )...
I, will make oneself responsible for make copy them and
distribute it
for the happening, in order that the Cuban community that has not
access to
the Internet can obtain " the alternative of Windows ".
They can me write directly to my address of post: raul08012@cha.jovenclub.cu
