"MandrakeSoft, the publisher of the powerful and user-friendly Linux-Mandrake operating system, announced that it will donate the software and technical expertise to set up a Linux-based Internet access center in the Los Angeles community of Pacoima. In addition to providing the web and e-mail servers for the Pacoima Community Technology Center, MandrakeSoft will be connecting the equipment. The Technology Center, which celebrates its grand opening on March 30th, aims to provide access to computers and the Internet for citizens who would otherwise lack that access."

"The Pacoima project is a collaborative effort between Los Angeles Urban Founders, a consortium of philanthropists and foundations, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Maxspeed, and MandrakeSoft. The Center will provide after-school activities for children, adult education/literacy, career development, small-business activities, home access to computers and the Internet, and an information clearinghouse for local events."
