And the trouble is Encarta needs to be updated regularly. They should do
something with/like Wikipedia. Write a data connection to download Wikipedia
open source db every week to a central server.

using an old version.

You yawn easily.

50? I hope 50 is not the number of kiosks. I have seen these Kiosks and know
each one is just a pc in a large case.

Considering this is Linux, the emphasis should be on reuse of outdated
winboxes with Linux (cheap pcs) and the provision

Of 50 free data connections.

Providing a pipe for thirty to connect as many taps as they choose is more
effective than providing a bunch of taps. H,

Let me put it this way, those are 50 fishes instead of 50 fish farms (nasty

I do not yawn easily :)

50 deployments means approximately 150 workstations. They are solar
powered, ruggedized, and have data connections. They are generally placed
in extremely remote areas that are not otherwise served by the traditional
education system.

They are not the ancient Digital Drum or Digital Doorway models. These are
wall-mounted Intel Classmate PCs converted to tablet form with USB
keyboards and mice.

Some of these deployments have been operational for years and generally
require little maintenance.

They're not perfect, but they're a hell of a lot cooler than what Microsoft
is doing :)
