I have server resources I could easily donate but I cannot actually give them a whole server. I am thinking that if they can find a place with an Internet connection we could boot up X and FreeNX and they could run apps on my server across the net. Unfortunately, just getting Internet access can be pretty difficult there. They are currently meeting in a small and relatively primitive community theater type of building with no Internet.

Tracy,

I'll see if I can get the higher-ups in IBM to approve donating a server to Baja-LUG. We have a bunch of surplus boxes and I'll see if I can get one (if not two) down there to you. They'd not be spectacular -- Dell PowerEdge 1650, but more than adequate to run what you're talking about. Pentium III 1.3 GHz, 512 or 1GB RAM, 36 gigabyte disk. So, decent, but by no means super-powered. They're rack servers, also, so they don't have the best graphical capabilities, but at least it'll get something going. I may be able to get a workstation also, but we'll see how everything goes.
