When we first started at Liholiho, two months ago, I knew zilch about
Linux. I still know very little, but we have a functioning LTSP lab (with
HOSEF's help).

Small world. I was the computer guy at Nanakuli Elem way back when. I know
the tech guy at Nanakuli High and Inter. We're all in the same boat with
zero budget. It's very difficult to run an IT shop with a zero budget.
