IT professional Mohammed Almughrabi and Computer Science student Yousef Alhashemi formed KwtLinux.com in 2007 with the goal of spreading the word about GNU/Linux and providing support for the local Linux community.

Through its peer-monitored forums and face-to-face meetings in and around Kuwait, KwtLinux.com provides a lively venue for discussion and networking for enthusiasts, hobbyists and professionals who share a common interest in Linux and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).

Many people here in Kuwait are still unfamiliar with Linux although it has been in existence since 1991. Our aim is to encourage its use.
