The Australian Federal and State governments have announced programmes to give school kids laptops. However, there are ongoing cost and deployment issues, which are causing these programmes to be delayed or stopped. In response to this, Cybersource has prepared a free, Linux-based solution, for use by Australian Schools, which makes it possible to bring one million new laptops to Australian school children.
'It's a simple proposition; we've prepared an open solution which delivers the best-possible value to education for netbook or laptop roll-outs,'"
This is an excellent article that clearly explains why there is NO EXCUSE for educational institutions throughout Australia to continue to push Microsoft Windows, when they should be getting smart, saving a considerable amount of money, and switching to a Linux/open source solution.
