TAO Communications and resist.ca are volunteer operated and use Debian GNU/Linux on all their servers. resist.ca provides network services to Vancouver BC "progressive" groups and labour unions. The Vancouver Community Net recently switched their servers from solaris to linux on intel hardware. they have both paid staff and volunteers doing geek work. VCN provides free email accounts and free dialup in the Vancouver BC area. They also locally administer the Government of Canada's Computer Access Program (CAP) which places public internet terminals in various community locations. TAO is similar to resist.ca. TAO is disorganized/unstructured and is difficult to become involved with unless you live in the Toronto area. Currently they are shedding their skin and morphing into "OAT". http://www.vcn.bc.ca http://www.resist.ca http://www.tao.ca http://oat.tao.ca Also there is the "techfed." I don't know a whole lot about this group. http://notes.techfed.net Geordie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
