i am invovled with our UCLU free software project.i am just getting started in it so all the credit goes to the LUG guys.
but i volunteered to help with a lions club project and it will involve installing edubuntu on PC,s for disadvantaged children.
i had never used any of the ubuntu products except for a kubuntu install that i never could get a mouse working on it so i had wiped and installed mandriva 2005 on it and the mouse still didnt work so i didnt know how the kubuntu was in use.
i just got another box and installed edubuntu on it and have to say ¨WOW¨.the ease of java and sound and all the other goodies that i have never installed.sweet.so friday is supposed to be the day we go to start the installs.they bought a win 98 license for these boxes but decided to try this out so hopefully they will like the way these look better than win 98

(User Info)

went today to install edubuntu.sigh
the disc that they had been given was a beta and didnt work but they had a kubuntu disc so i installed it.it went great.but i am going to return wednesday and install edubuntu on it so they will have the educational programs.these computers are for ages 6 - 8.
the lead guy for our lug is supposed to do a demo for the principle of an elemntary school where the computers are being stored and loaded with the programs.she is very interested in the idea af this project and is thinking about using in the school also.nothing definite yet but i am excited about it all.
