I'm part if a project team trying to develop a hardware software system designed to efficiently make use of donated equipment for distribution to non-profits, NGOs, developing cultures, to cross the digital divide as cheaply as possible.
Part of the project is the design of an open architecture motherboard which can make good use of as much heritage hardware as possible, to run on as little electricity as possible for off-grid or unreliable utility power. It has to run as long as possible on battery banks. Part of the project is the selection of green software which makes as few demands as possible but will still get on the net, do books, reports, and educate. no copywrite. do what you will with it. -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
