Edubuntu server with one NIC

[Todd O'Bryan]

Javier,

Where are you in Ecuador? If one of us were to send you a NIC:

(a) How likely is it that it would get to you?
(b) How much would you have to pay in taxes to accept it?

I spent a semester during college in Quito--lived with a family a few
blocks to the west of the airport just off Avenida 10 de Agosto and took
classes at la Universidad Católica. My college still sends a group to
Quito every year, I think.
