| Fortunately for the school, eTux was being formed by a group of
| local Linux geeks. It provides networked computers to disadvantaged
| schools and communities. As its name implies, eTux uses Linux and
| open-source software.
| 
| eTux scrounged some secondhand workstations and transformed them
| into thin clients. The thin clients were then connected to a Linux
| Terminal Server running Edubuntu, the educational version of
| Ubuntu Linux--free software backed by South African Internet
| mogul Mark Shuttleworth.
