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 ).
