And here's a third - http://www.vicnet.net.au/~rpds/ There are 50 elderly/disabled people in the state of Victoria in Australia who get their Internet access through a Debian box. All are members of the Rural Peninsula Disability Support group - they are provided computers and pay $11 Australian a month for three hours access per day. This is the kind of charitable project which can *never* afford costly server hardware or software - were it not for the Debian project, we would not be able to run something like this, which means many of these folk would never have access to email or the web. And that's about their only means of access to the world as many of them are disabled and house-bound. Thank you for providing free, quality software which is easy to maintain.
