Hi Tim, The computers you describe could serve as Edubuntu thin clients, but that assumes you will have a networked lab situation with at least one high powered machine to be the server.
You might also be interested in Ubuntu-Lite, which is aimed at working directly on machines like you described. I'm hoping to be able to make contributions to Ubuntu-Lite developement once school starts, but that will be contingent on student interest (I can lead them to water, but I can't make them drink...) I'm not sure who is coordinating the Ubuntu-Lite effort. I receive regular emails from a google group: Ubuntu Lite: http://groups.google.com.au/group/ubuntu_lite [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I found a web site that seems to be under development: http://www.ubuntulite.org/ Hopefully, these efforts are being coordinated. What is your time line? If you plan to work on this during the coming school year, perhaps I could lend a hand. Thanks! jeff elkner On Sun, 14 Aug 2005 07:12:39 -0700 (PDT), "John \"Tim\" DENNY" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
As a donor of decommissioned computer my group http://www.pc4peace.org has sent almost 350 computers to Cambodia in the past year and hopefully can sustain the donations to assist in a larger way in the near future. At present the donated computers are mostly older with CPUs in the range of 233 to 300 mhz, 64 meg ram and basic components throughout. I have attempted Ubuntu live CD operations yet have failed due to the slow CPU speed.
