Here's a reply that I got from Etienne, the Uruguayian professor of 
physics and art whom I mentioned in an earlier post.  It seems 
kinda exciting to me, so I thought that I would share it with some 
folks who might actually understand it in depth.  (This list).  

     here are some pics atach of the TAP4,  the 4th of these
"taller-labs-classes" that i have been teching at the UDELAR 
engineering in
montevideo. this year there are over 150 students on board and to 
make this
working alone, with no assistants, no budget takes witchcraft....     
for
the first time the TAP has migrated entirely to software 
libre...using
modified  versions of "damnsmall" linux that run in  "loopfile" 
systems on
top of DOS, which alow us to inflitrate them gently in any windows 
machine
(fat32) without making partitions...
this has interesting consequences.
    the seminar on elctronics  is gearing up to move to the next 
phase in
our attempt to design norms to create a "lego-refuse" for junk 
electronics.
let's see how far we can get this time !!!
