Supply Computer to Public Schools

Hello,
To whom it may Concern:
I just want to clarify about this supplying Computers to Public Schools. Is it all over Public Schools in the Philippines or it is just in Manila or I mean in the big Cities?
I Graduated in Port Barton National High School in the year 1989. The School is doing really well as of now and we had so many successful Graduates in this Schools: like Nurses, Midwife, Engineers, Accountants, this is just to name a few.
So my question is would you be able to supply at least 6 Computers into the getting larger Schools of Port Barton, both High School and Elementary. We had about over 5 thousand Population in this tiny Village with some little Islands as well. The Children's are really ignorant when it comes to computer. So if you could help them I think it would be so wonderful. I would really appreciate it if someone could get back to me on this matter.
By the way my name is Welcy Padilla Rowed, I am currently residing in Banff Alberta Canada for 15 years now. I am not a Computer Expert but at least I know the Basic of it. I used computer a lot in my Job as a Cashier in the famous Hotel of Canada The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel which was built in 1898. Please get back to me, I would like to help in any way to the Children over there.

Misconception about free software

"why would they offer something for free, and how would they support and teach it"

I would expect this to be said by any of the DepEd officials, even (or esp.?) those in the top ranks. Apparently many (most?) people in the Philippines, esp. those handling positions of influence, do not yet understand the true nature of the open source and free software movement.

Linux even 100 times cheaper than what you think!

Linux still cheaper than heavily-subsidized Microsoft products. Though, It should have been even 100 times CHEAPER applying with the new Linux Multidesktop Technology.
Linux Public Computing Operating System, yet a new terminology many should cope with. Does it work really? See more:

Public Computing occurs whenever computers are deployed for use by the public, by "untrusted" users, or by transactional workers. The key issues at public computers are privacy protection, system security, and manageability. Users find Linux Multidesktop approach friendly, secure and worry free!
