I have often wondered if Closing the Digital Gap needed any help, but
have to many other responsibilities. 

I really love the concept, sort of the Habitat for Humanity for
computers. They offer free training to low-income qualified candidates.
At the end of the class the students receive a free computer (from
donated parts, assembled by students in their A+ program) and one year
of Internet access from ACD.net. 

I bet a free OS, maybe Ubuntu, would be a big hit with the right support
behind it.
