I've asked Ben if he's planning on an 'event' where people can volunteer
to help put systems together, and if so, when and where.

In the meantime, any recommendations on a Linux distro that could be
suitable for this kind of purpose?  I can't think of much else being
needed beyond a browser.

Any comments, suggestions?
