The name of our project is Freegeek-Michiana, <a href="http://www.freegeekmichiana.org/">http://www.freegeekmichiana.org/</a> in South Bend, IN (not to be confused with Freegeek <a href="http://www.freegeek.org/">http://www.freegeek.org/</a> in Portland, OR, with whom we are affiiated).  We are currently using Vector Linux 3.2 (a Slackware derivitive) which has worked well in our freebox program.  We have been looking at alternatives that would be easier for Linux novices to add software to.  We haven't used Rule so far, but have been considering it as many of us have our primary experience with Red Hat.  We also use LTSP, the Linux Terminal Server Project, to set up computer labs, for training, internet access, etc at local churches in low income neighborhoods.  LTSP comes on  RH pkgs.
