RULE: RULE-based vum:BOX goes into final test

    RULE-based vum:BOX will be tested from Frank Luaba, project-coordinator 
from "congo:deux"

        After weeks of a very fruitful cooperation between VUM and "The RULE 
Project", we are now in the stage, where a "should-work-ISO" was delivered to 
one of the target-users, in order to put hands on it. Frank Tenday Luaba is the 
coordinator of the upcoming project congo:deux in Kinshasa/DRC. The roleout 
will take place in September 2003 in 4 schools.

        Presently he prepares some of the collected hardware in his headquarter 
in Vienna with the so called vum:BOX. Based on the Slinky-ISO (Version 0.3.95) 
from "The RULE-Project" this package contains a small but up to date version of 
RedHat Linux Version 9, the most recent versions of Abiword, OpenOffice and 
Acrobat Reader. 

        This first experience with a ruleified system points out: This BOX will 
allow you  to perform all standard computing tasks. And by this, it will allow 
people to communicate and exchange information across borders and long 
distances. It will enable them to help themselves and to pass their skills onto 
others. We are very thankful to the OpenSource Community and especially to the 
people from The Rule Project.
