If the issue is lack of RAM and USB support, why not talk to the Puppy linux community and Puppy CD's being delivered to those schools with OpenOffice pre-installed? The old hardware will perform again very well.

The problem I see, is a lot of schools have poor in RAM / old machines, and often ... catastrophic network. Now, with those machines, OpenOffice.org + logo (or not) on the USB
stick :) ... is just not adapted (IMHO). Regards, Eric Bachard -- qɔᴉɹə Education Project: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_Project Projet OOo4Kids : http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/Main_Page L'association EducOOo : http://www.educoo.org Blog : http://eric.bachard.free.fr/news
