Ubuntu in PNG?

[Robert Schilt]

Hi Joe,

It's great to hear that someone else in PNG is doing some work with
Ubuntu.

Please tell me what extras are included with Edubuntu that don't come
with Ubuntu - I'm curious.

By the way I'm also a volunteer (with AVI).

With the training I suggest you check out Ingots. www.theingots.org. - I
have borrowed teaching materials from their website and adapted them to
the Hospital environment.

I'll probably be staying in my wife's village over the Easter break -
which happens to be in - you guessed it... Simbu -  Chuave to be
precise. Let's try and catch up regardless.
