I have offered our services to install a Linux distro on two identical machines for the Spreydon Baptist Pre-School on that evening. These are the machines which will be used by the children. Suggestions as to what child oriented packages should go into the software load, and a volunteer to do that would be much appreciated. Somebody from there will be bringing the machines etc.
I have not heard anything more about this one. They may or not be coming. I will have a Knoppix with the install script and the stickers program ready in case they turn up. Anybody else got any good ideas about KidWare for pre-schoolers?
Ken McAllister comments: Alison told me at the time that "someone from the Club would arrange to get the children's machines working." This was not quite what CS said above. "Can I take the machines for you?" I asked Alison yesterday (Sunday).
She told me that no machines need be dealt with now for the children, thanks, and that the officeware for the staff is more important. It seems - I am guessing - that people around Alison have not been wholly Linux-oriented.
OSS nil, Microsoft nil. Will this match go into extra time, or shall we default gracefully? Did we establish that OpenOffice would, or wouldn't, run on any two of these?
