The Davis Community Network (DCN) recognizes the wealth of information available to the public and the lack of computers to access them at the public access points such as schools. LUGOD works with DCN to install Linux distributions on donated older computer hardware. DCN will be the primary distributor of the computers throughout the community of Davis and surrounding areas. Installations are usually at 5:30pm Tuesdays or Wednesdays at the trailers at 1623 5th street between L street and Poleline which will be changed at the end of September. Thursday installations have been proposed.
