[seul-edu] School in Taiwan

["Stanwood Barret Dolph" <white129@ms7.hinet.net>]

Well, our school has been thriving...we will be opening a kindergarden and
another school in Taipei...But our Linux program has gone nowhere.  Despite
much searching I could not find anyone interested in coming to Taiwan to
help us teach Linux.

Nontheless, the opening of two more schools presents us with both problems
and possibilities. We will need to have some improvement in our accounting
software. Right now we use Access which works but is not really a solution.
My manager and I patched together an accounting plan two years ago and we
still use a modification of this.

My goal is to have the two other schools input data to a central computer
via internet. We could use some old 486's at the two new schools and buy a
new computer for our central school.

Questions for anyone who might know?

1) What kind of web server would we need? I am leaning towards IBM because
they have good service here.

2) Can we use this to operate both finances and our website? Local advise
says no...Is there anyway around the security problems.

3) Database....Which Software should we use  and does anybody know of any
Universities which might be interested in working together to see how an
accounting program gets designed.

Any help would be appreciated. All aspects of this program except some of
the details of our accounting would be accomplished with our students. I
think they could learn a lot by seeing this come together.
