I'm from Computerbank in Victoria, Australia. We give away Linux computers to needy people and groups using donated technology. We have recently undertaken a Linux thin client trial at the Footscray Library. We have written a comprehensive paper about our experiences. The paper can be found at http://doc.vic.computerbank.org.au/projects/
The project has been very successful and demonstrates that Linux can be used as a low cost solution for deploying 'basic needs' public access networks.

We still use Debian and run 'work for the dole' projects. We can also help people looking to do community work.
