summer project. I had fun rebuiding some of the old digital divide computers to
run Ubuntu. Taught me heaps about Linux (yes, my world didn't end, my milk
didnt go off and I didnt start wearing funny T-Shirts) Even motivated some
girls to do more with IT .. Say, numbers for VCE IT have gone up to three
classes next year (gasp) <br>

Linux Users Victoria runs 'install' fests from time to time. <br>
<br>
I wonder if I could arrange to buy a few 'old' machines from<br>
Computerbank, and arrange a moodle install fest?<br>
<br>
Say - $100 bucks for an old machine, then we sit around install linux,<br>
apache, mysql, php and moodle... in the morning, and in the afternoon <br>
set up courses and share tips and tricks for making moodle sing?<br>
<br>
Could this be a summer break project for the VIC moodlers?<br>
<br>
Then you take the box into school - plug it in (or whack a wireless card<br>
in it) - do some tricky stuff to get a static IP - and voila! <br>
<br>
Peter - could that work?<br>
<br>
On the other hand - if your techs really won't let you - we do host a<br>
few moodle sites for others who've not been able to get access to the<br>
infrastructure inside the school. Or do as Ros has done, and get a
host <br>
that let's you DIY.<br>
