[discuss] Network assistance

Would love to assist, but I'm leaving for Japan shortly.
However, perhaps you could contact one of these organizations for assistance:

And Seneca college students are involved in setting up schools, etc.

And also, you might consider looking for linux gurus among the local
student population.
Despite M$/school boards/etc. attempting to keep students uninformed,
news travels fast and like the internet 'routes around' any attempt to
prevent students from learning about something. There are probably
expert linux high school students in the area who could help out.
