Welcome to the Freedom Toaster (FT) Wiki!
Freedom Toasters are conveniently located, self-contained, computer-based, 'Bring 'n Burn' facilities.
Like vending machines, preloaded to dispense confectionery, Freedom Toasters are preloaded to dispense free digital products, including software, photography, music and literature.
The Freedom Toaster project began as a means of overcoming the difficulty in obtaining Linux and Open Source software due to the restrictive telecommunications environment in South Africa, where the easy downloading of large pieces of software is just not possible for everyone.
The main webpage is available at FreedomToaster.org. This wiki serves as a springboard for further development and communication - anyone is free to contribute.
Note
This wiki's final address is not http://ftwiki.rivera.za.net/ . This is only temporary, and will be disabled as soon as someone at TSF creates http://wiki.freedomtoaster.org/ for us.
