Dear Manoj, Simply great! I am not sure if you and others in this list have been doing this for some time, but since i am new to the list, it's the first time I have heard about it. In fact, one of my reasons for joining the LUG and the list was to support the efforts in taking technology to those who otherwise might not have access to.
There's still some way to go for me technically (I heard about LTSP from your mail and am googling it now), but do let me know if I can be of any help.
