Maybe some of them. I am born and raised in Romania and I've seen first hand a similar project: the state university bought a few million dollar server from Sun - they put it in some place and they let it rot in there. There were a few guys who leaarned programming and Unix on it, but other than this... nothing. They could do that on a few workstations. It was supposed to be the core of the Romanian research with scientists loggin in from all over the country: at first they did login, the brave ones even issued some ls or ps commands and then they didn't know what else to do... It could be the same with the Saudis, because if you don't have any tradition with computing you tend to look at it and scratch your head....
