[olug] LTSP Lab for refugees

[Charles Bird]

I have thought about such a thing, targeted at yonnger, impoverished ppl.
Get them pointing and clicking and then creep em into Vi, and maybe have a
12 node PIII cluster for those that really get into it.
I dropped the idea long ago due to the need for myself to survive.
I would be willing to put in some time into a project in which you speak
of, let me know.
