Smile Kids say "Thank you (Ed)Ubuntu Team"


Quote:
Weve just installed these two donated computers in a community nursury and breakfast/after schol club in Lincolnshire, England. The machines are 600mhz/128mb/4.2gig and they took about 3/4's of an hour to install and configure perfectly, and have cost the centre nothing!

The kids absolutely love them, most are from underpriviledged backgrounds and many of them have never used a computer before. As a result they will grow up computer literate. The Nursury just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks for all of the effort and long hours that the community has put into creating this supurb collection of software.

Keep Up the Good work!
Just saw this at Ubuntu Forums and just couldnt help but post it here. Ubuntu sure lives up to its slogan of "linux for human beings"

A very touching story!

That's really nice for those kids. Cost is a very big factor for such underpriviledged kids. And to get access to a PC for really low cost would be nice for them. Hope they make good use of this opportunity.
