Mobile IT Education?

SickKiwi asks: "A client, a local polytechnic, has recently asked me to come up with plans for a mobile IT bus to bring technology to rural areas. I would love to find out what other people in the field have come up with in the way of workstation layout, OS choices and Internet connectivity. There doesn't appear to be a huge amount of material available but as the technology gets smaller, mobile classrooms become more and more practical." What vehicles would work best for this kind of application? A converted bus? A mobile home? An 18-wheeler with a heavily customized trailer? What kind of hardware would you put in it?

    do you post this in every thread? i am getting pretty tired of seeing it. if you think slashdot moderation is really that bad, the best thing for you to do is go somewhere else. it is very irritating reading something by some disgruntled poster who thinks someone cares what he has to say. the internet is a big place, go somewhere else.

    Agreed. It was interesting at first, even though it was off topic in the first place, but at least the first time I saw it was vaguly interesting. But when you place it in every thread, you lose any authoirty you once had. If you want to get your point accross, document your research and make a web page or put it in your jounal.
