Texas Group Brings Linux Computers Home
,----[ Quote ]
| In 2008, The HeliOS Project built, placed and supported 329 computers where
| they were needed. Sometimes it was necessary to travel over 100 miles to do
| it. Admittedly, 329 computers doesn’t sound like much. Not many at all in
| the scope of things. That is until you take into consideration one relevant
| fact.
|
| It was done almost exclusively by one man. One guy in a a beat up old Isuzu
| Rodeo with questionable braking ability and over a quarter million miles on
| it…that’s averages out to 1 computer installed in a child’s home every 26.6
| hours in a year’s time.

| I've fielded 5 phone calls from them since our meeting, answering questions
| and explaining things that were not clear to them. The fact that they are
| calling me asking these questions is encouraging...they aren't rebooting into
| Windows again just because something is different than what they are used to.
| They are asking questions because they see the potential in what they are
| working with.

| This seems like a good time for a Ken Starks retrospective. This is the man
| who, despite some rather gnarly health problems churns out blog entries and
| interesting Linux projects by the truckload.
