Do it with Ubuntu

Thanks guys for everything donated! Keep it coming!

My appeal for IT equipment has yielded a mixed bag of stuff. From a 6kg laptop from the 80's to a spanking new Dell D630, wi-fi routers and a switch, a selection of RAM and some wi-fi cards. I intend to make an inventory of everything - any stuff that's too old or just not appropriate will go on eBay. The proceeds will be ploughed back into the project and details will be posted on this blog.

I currently have three usable laptops of varying specs and am testing Edubuntu, a education distro of Ubuntu on them. This OS was chosen because it's free, comes with a suit of education software suited to a range of ages and many of the applications are appropriate for children with little or no knowledge of the English language. There's also a lot of sincere, and very much appreciated support out there. I am also hopeful that the Ubuntu Nepal user group will help me out, I'll be contacting them soon!
