You can install KA Lite and other educational packages on a LibraryBox, which is basically a router with a web server on it. http://www.hackersforcharity.org/librarybox/

Cool! Yep, you can install it on anything that runs Python (it's all written in pure Python, with no libraries that have binary dependencies). We run it on Raspberry Pi's, netbooks, server racks, Sandisk Connect hotspot devices, old Pentium III's, and now (thanks to python-for-android) even standalone on Android devices (which should be released soon). We want to support any old, existing hardware, as well as the cheapest stuff available off the shelf today.

KA Lite is great. I was working on an educational computer lab in a prison, and it was moderately easy to deploy on our Windows Multipoint server. Unfortunately we had to delete it becuase there was too much video content for the prison administration to screen and approve. FWIW, we also had to delete the offline wikipedia (kiwix) for the similar reasons.

We'd be curious to hear what state this was in. KA Lite is being used in prisons all across Idaho, and many in Washington state, some in New Mexico, Virginia, and a few others. In some cases, this is grassroots. We're figuring out ways to help overcome institutional resistance to make sure it can be accessed by as many prisoners as possible.
