Hi Kimberly,
in Spain (and elsewhere) there are successful experiences of setting up community technology centers using Open Source software:
-Extremadura uses GNU/Linex for all its public schools as well as community tech centers. GNU/Lines technical specs and software packages included at http://www.linex.org/linex2/linex/ingles/index_ing.html There are several versions of this software: corporate, server and educational.
If you are interested I can help you find similar software distributions in English or get in touch with the Extremadura public administration.
Cheers,
Jaime Garcia Alba Eduinter - Grupo Planeta

Subject: [DDN] Community technology centres - popular, effective software programs
I'm curious to know what educational (word-processing, literacy, web design) and/or business development software packages are found to be the most popular within your community technology centre networks ... other than the standard Microsoft Office, Macromedia, Symantec offerings, what specific programs are you having the best success with overall?
Thanks Kimberly King-Burns BrilandModemFund.com California - Bahamas - Caribbean
