Hope For All Gets A True Classroom Setup!

Thanks to the support and donations we've received, Caring Compy was able to really come through for Hope For All Learning Center in Orlando, FL. They now have an easy to manage classroom computer setup that makes great use of older hardware, and is loaded with educational software.

As described in this previous post, they have been given an LTSP server and 3 thin clients. The other two computers given to them previously will be converted to thin clients as well.

Thanks again to everyone involved for all the support. As can be seen below, the kids love it.

More Love for Hope For All

Recently, Caring Compy received a donation from Steve Elmer of HTH Inc, a local magnetic car sign, screen-printing, and glass-etching company. They donated a single computer.

While that may not sound like much, there is something very special about this computer. It is powerful enough to be used as terminal server for the Hope Learning Center. This will enable the use of dozens of thin clients. That combined with the educational software set you can find only on Linux provides an efficient classroom environment that is scalable and easy to maintain.

Thanks again, Steve for your generosity.

Hope For All Learning Center

Caring Compy just met with the head of Hope For All Learning Center in Orlando. They're a center for abused and battered children ranging from ages 3-12. Currently they have 5 computers for their children, only one of which is working. It's a typical case of aged machines running various versions of Windows, all of which have been subjected to the use that only a child can give.

We will be supplying them with three computers running Edubuntu Linux as well as installing Edubuntu on their other machines as well. This will give all of their computers a modern, child friendly, operating system that will be free of viruses and malware. This also will let them use the computers rather than fight with computer problems as compared to their Microsoft counterparts they are virtually maintenance free.

Please follow us on Twitter for further developments with this client as we're greatly looking forward to working more with them in the near future.
