The Digital Doorway This is a very robust 4- terminal computer system that is put into poor communities around South Africa to provide a means for people in that community to teach themselves basic computer skills. Funding is provided by the Department of Science and Technology

Most of the software and content on Digital Doorways is open source. There are currently 24 Digital Doorway sites in South Africa running Mandrake Linux. This year we are installing a further terminal Digital Doorways, running Xubuntu Linux. Content on the Digital Doorway includes: Open Office Drawing programs Educational Games Educational Videos Health Information Science Experiments Wikipedia Gutenberg Books And lots more.

A Digital Doorway consists of 1 server, 2 fat clients, and 1 Mindset satellite receiver. Future DD's will be connected to a local MESH network

Hi. I'm very excited to have this digital doorway installed in my community, since this is a step forward to computer literacy and science. This is going to reduce the rate of children in conflict with the law since they will be busy experimenting educationally. I would like to see children in this rural community gaining confidence,when they go to higher learning institutions. I'm using the doorway to study and research. I'm an Abet facilitator and hope that this is going to help at acquiring learner material. P.L. Feb 2007 One of the many pieces of feedback received:
