Hi Jack, Do you currently send networks with the systems at all?
It seems that's the biggest jump. If you have a networking solution say providing a router having a preconfigured webserver on that seems a relatively easy step, especially if you preconfigure the workstation desktops with a link to that local URL. I've done a bit of work with schools in Kenya and Fiji (which had no internet and in some cases no power at the school) and have put a bit of though into low/no bandwith remote locations. Feel free to contact me off list if you'd like (though I'm happy to share in public too if it fits the list topic) -Jon On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 09:17:27AM -0500, Jack ODonnell wrote: :Hi all : :World Computer Exchange(http://www.worldcomputerexchange.org) exports :computers to partners in developing countries who place them in schools. : :We set all our computers as stand-alones running Ubuntu 12.04 with the :LXDE desktop, Edubuntu-desktop package, other software and an archive of :files for the classroom. : :The final item is currently about 12 gigs of open source educational :PDFs, videos and interactive content for grades K-12.
