Brazil's Ubuntu-powered digital training bus
Here's a
Ubuntu forum posting regarding the Brazilian "digital inclusion bus."
This bus contains twelve workstations (and one server) running Ubuntu Linux; it is used to
provide training sessions on Internet use and OpenOffice. There's some
nice pictures included.

Brazil's Ubuntu-powered digital training bus Posted Aug 22, 2005 13:05 UTC (Mon) by dhj (guest, #4655) [Link] Unfortunately, the lack of windows is probably due to the need to stoppeople breaking into the bus and stealing the computers. This isn't a reflection on the honesty of Brazilians; you'd have the same problem in any country where you were driving a vehicle full of PCs into poor areas.
