RE: [school-discuss] Knoppix vs. Freeduc vs. ???

[<mthompson@codedfuture.com>]

David,
I was saying in am earlier reply that I wasn't totally sure about Knoppix in
Spanish. Well it is in Spanish here is the site in case you have not gotten
it already. It doesn't take a lot of resources and you can download it in
English first if you want to try it out. If you can do RH you can do
Knoppix. It's based on debian. Hope this helps. http://www.knoppix.org/

The point is that the machines going to Guatemala are donated. I have
no budget to work with. Now, if somebody wants to donate a server like
you're talking about, just let me know. If not, they need to work as
standalones.
