Hi all,

Some of you may have seen previous information about the 'Community Linux 
Training Centre' (CLTC) idea. Well, it's now up and running.

It now has a web site detailing information about the project at:
http://www.fraw.org.uk/cltc/



The Community/Linux Training Centre is a project to develop and trial a 
wholly mobile computer network that provides a desktop computing environment, 
but is also able to simulate a local area network and Internet environment. 
This enables the teaching of computer skills without a telephone 
line/Internet connection. 

Why a "community - linux" training centre? The primary use of this system 
will be to teach computer and networking skills to civil society groups. But 
it is also a valuable demonstration platform for the GNU/Linux operating 
system within the context of civil society. For those learning how to use 
computers for office-based tasks there are few obstacles. But when learning 
network-based tasks there are a number of barriers. For example, the cost of 
being online, or the problem of finding people to network with. The CLTC 
system solves these problems by letting people learn together on a closed, 
local network.


Also - all feedback appreciated.



P.

truth and peace and true freedom, that these may be exalted in our nation,
and that goodness, righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity
with God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
