Use of Debian For Non-Profits

[James M. Nugent]

Hello,

I work with a non-profit in N. Virginia (Computer CORE) that provides
refurbished computers to low-income adults and other non-profits that use
them for various applications. We're currently working with a church group
that wants to distribute out old P-I systems to Liberia. Normally we would
have them buy $5 versions of Win 98 which we would install on the systems,
but they're not in a position to spend the $160 to do this. We're trying to
find a version of Linux that we could install, but we are being told that we
can't export systems with current encryption. Do you have a version of Linux
with 56-bit encryption that we could obtain?

Thanks.

James Nugent

Not quite what you're asking, but go ahead and install. When it asks
if you want to use non-US packages, SAY NO. non-US contains all the
non-exportable crypto. Since the non-US servers all sit outside the
US, they can still get the crypto goodies, you could add the non-US
sources into the sources.list before sending it off (just don't do
anything after that).
