Setting up Linux in an Inner City Public School?
Richard Finney asks: "I have a friend who is retired. He was the chief scientist on the Landsat program. Instead of just belting down scotch and cashing social security checks, he is volunteering at Samuel Coleridge Taylor Elementary School #122, in Baltimore. He's trying to set up some old donated computers from the Windows 95 era. Rather than fight with Windows, he's decided to install Linux. How would you set up these systems for these little kids to use and learn about computers using Linux?"
You might want to bring a bulletproof vest. They're free (as in speech) for the most part. You can take them apart, learn how they work, etc.
*ducks*
Apology to Ubuntu forum.
INNER CITY KIDS DON'T USE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
Because you can't steal it.
I jacked a motherfucking Emacs from a motherfucker, but I couldn't C-X C-c the fuck out fast enuff, so my black nigger ass got busted by the StallMan.
That would actually be Insightful (mabye Funny) if the title wasn't caps.
Wonder what the public key field is for?
Won't that be the day!
Superintendent: So, we're going to use Linux on these old computers? I've heard of something called Red Hat (hey, he has their stock). Is that what we're using?
Tech: No sir, we're using Damn Small Linux.
Right...
