Besides, budget is <B>very</B> short in Panama. All the work is done by
volunteers like my wife and I.
The mission can not afford to buy new books, PC parts in general, etc.
Everything I sent down
there was donated.
When returning to Panama, I "intend" to build a
"simple-sort-of-efective" firewall (Smoothwall ?),
a print server, a dial-up server (no broadband available/affordable).
These are my primary goals.
<shameless request here>
If anyone is interested on donating old PCs (working condition :o) ),
parts,
howto books on above topics, etc., feel free to contact me off the
list. We ship containers w/ donations
three times per year
</shameless request here>
Sergio
ps; Bjorn, somehow I missed your posting. I will start putting
everything together for you.
How soon do you need it?
