Seeking more information

Hi Scott

Where are you in Guatemala? I was there a few years ago, in Xela, and
did some setup of old PC's with Linux, as well as experimenting with
LTSP. My amigo, Rosendo, is doing similar stuff in Todos Santos, I
have CC'd him on this message, maybe you want to get in touch, I'm
sure he would love to hear from you.
