I just joined the list and missed the original post to this thread. Could the person that started this thread or anyone else that is involved with it tell me how I could get involved also? I am not very experienced with Linux "yet" but I am interested in doing something similar for public schools that don't have money to buy computer equipment in South East Asia. I have at least one non profit local organizations that have expressed interest in this as well. Any ideas and experience I can gain from helping in your deployment would be very helpful.
