Linex in Nicaragua

As I wrote in another post, here in Nicaragua, the Nicaraguan Linux User Group is starting to work on an educational project for the public schools.

This particular school, Colegio Guardabarranco, is working since 2005 with 8 computers running Linex 2004. The kids are very happy because they learn a lot of things using this tool, and they are excited about to go to school every day.

The community is going to help the school. Our first task will be to update the OS from Linex 2004 to Linex 2006, install the wikipedia off-line (they don't have Internet access), and install a local repo.

We will recycle old computers and bring them back to life with LTSP. This way, we'll build a great computer lab, so more students may be able to learn.
