Hope For All Learning Center Update

Caring Compy installed two computer at Hope For All Learning Center. We later found out that the teachers and students love the software that comes bundled with Edubuntu Linux! Here is a list of applications that were bundled. We also included an addon that accommodates younger children.

When we are able, with the help of more donations, we will be setting them up with a terminal/thin-client environment using the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). This will enable us to keep even the oldest of computers in use because a server will be running the central desktop whereas the other computers will be simply clients to display graphics and play sound that comes from the server's desktop environment.

We'd like to thank Eric Marden for his help with this. One of the two computers donated were was his and we really appreciate his support.

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.
