If we are not able to mass install Linux on the notebooks, then we might have to just take as shot at installing Linux individually on as many of the computers as possible.  The kids start school on Monday, so we are going to try to get as far as we can tomorrow.  If we only take a few baby steps, that is fine.

Please also bring cable testers, screw drivers, pliers, and anything else that you would need to get into notebook or desktop computers, triage them, and fix them.  If you have any spare wifi routers to donate, that would also be a plus.
