The Schools Linux User Group (SLUG) project is but one of these, with the aim of kitting 80 (mainly township) schools in South Africa's Western Cape with Thin Client Linux computer labs. TSF provides the computer hardware (a big server, 20 cheap thin clients using refurbished computers) and Local linux user groups provide volunteers for the installs.
Needing an Internet solution that was affordable to these schools, TSF are piloting Wizzy Digital Courier.
