"Beginning this September, all 9000 computers will run only Ubuntu and free and open source software. While officials are happy to be saving money on licensing, the Department of Public instruction largely made the move out of what they considered best practices for student education"

I heard that on the latest Linux Action Show. Very cool indeed. The tide is slowly turning in our favor. I can't understand how school districts with limited resources go the Windows route. All that money they spend on M$ software could be spent on new hardware and training for the admins & teachers. Linux in education just makes sense.
