What is an ARES server?
         This ARES server is built upon a RACHEL server distribution, which is one of the configurations available as part of the RACHEL Project, an initiative to make available rich and curated educational content to places where no Internet connectivity is available or the available bandwidth is unusable for most practical purposes. ARES has provided additional content and customization to meet the needs of school rooms in East Africa.
You can read more about the RACHEL project in the World Possible web site.
