Hi Scott Where are you in Guatemala? I was there a few years ago, in Xela, and did some setup of old PC's with Linux, as well as experimenting with LTSP. My amigo, Rosendo, is doing similar stuff in Todos Santos, I have CC'd him on this message, maybe you want to get in touch, I'm sure he would love to hear from you.
