Re: [LUG] Linux in Schools

"Paul Nelson, a teacher at Riverdale, and Eric Harrison with Multnomah ESD 
have developed a thin-client software called K12LTSP that runs Linux. In the 
last nine months, they've distributed the software to 5,000 schools.
"Schools and government agencies that are paying for Microsoft Office are 
wasting money," Nelson said. "They should be using free software. A lot of 
this stuff has become generic. It doesn't take a fancy program to make 
something bold."
R. Thor Prichard, the executive director at the Oregon Educational Technology 
Consortium, observed, "Microsoft has made it known they're concerned about 
Linux invading their territory."
