as you could see its from Brazil, the Linux utilized on it is Ubuntu, both on 12 boxes and on the server. All of them connect to the server (IBM 206 xSeries). Ubuntu is perfect for our purpouses, I really have to thanks the Ubuntu team for the medias CDs.

Ps.: this is a partnetship with the federal government.

The project is a bus that have 12 pc, it will go over the city on quarters, offering courses about Internet and OpenOffice.org for poor people.
At first time the courses will be at morning and at night, on afternoon the bus will be open for community to use internet and OpenOffice.org.

That is one bad ass bus. Great idea! I've been trying to assemble my war-van. Still working on it . I have though gotten a Ubuntu touchscreen to work in my friends G35.

What could be better then a monitor that flips out of your dash, touch screen ready, loaded with ubuntu?
