Hilary also mentioned OTX-West, who have a somewhat similar program in West Oakland:<br><br><a href="http://www.otxwest.org/index.html">http://www.otxwest.org/index.html</a><br><br>Like ACCRC, they use volunteers to help recycle and refurbish old computers. They seem to be focused more on Windows XP + OpenOffice though. Not sure how they feel about Linux.<br>

This is indeed a great solution for schools with limited resources. The challenge is that Oakland District tech services will not support a non-windows set-up. Also that a lot of educational software will not run on LINUX. <br>



  Many Oakland schools get their refurbished computer labs and classroom computers from OTX-west. They pre-install a while lot of FOSS suitable for the grade level of the school. They also have a take-home computer program.<br>



Cheers,<br>
