Humm...
As a side issue I'll be returning to school for Software Engineering
& Embedded systems. Hoping to have some of my student loans
forgiven I was thinking of setting up something where we take given-away
computers and install a variant of Linux education for poor Montessori
programs,
charter schools, etc. that can afford nothing but free software.
But then what? Even if I write scripts to auto update, remove extra
kernels,
etc. after a few years the systems would need work. I was thinking of
writing
a simply, lay flat, laminated, binder book with simple flow charts. E.g.
"If this
happens try these three things following the chart.." But again that would
be at least 2 years away.
Blessings,
Paul W.
