You can also volunteer to work with ExplorNet, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), who
goes into urban and rural areas, sets up computer classes and takes
donated, old, computers and servers and get the running with any OS that
will work and trains "media Specialists" to operate them on a base
level. I think you should be able to find more information on the website
(www.explornet.org) and if not, anyone interested can email me. I know
the ladies in charge....
