ArabDev - Menia schools project

Upgrading the school lab

Sat, 18 Mar 2006 05:24:18 -0500

With the help of EGLUG volunteers, ArabDev has upgraded Adeeb Wahba's computer lab in anticipation of having a DSL line installed, and the lab opened for internet services and cultural activities.

The school lab now has 10 PCs with Mandriva 2006 installed in a dual boot setup. Also and as a request of both teachers and students, many games and educational software (although only in English) were installed.

Thanks Sherif Nagy (DarKnesS_WolF) for your help.
