Edubuntu: Linux for education
,----[ Quote ]
| In Venezuela, for instance, "there are several movements that were
| originated by a new law, Presidential Decree No. 3390, where all
| public institutions must use open source software," says Efrain
| Valles, a Venezuelan educator, Ubuntu user, and open source
| advocate. However, Valles says that uptake in the education
| sector is slow. "Our schools are just beginning to use
| computers. There is no one computer per classroom thing;
| remember, we are a Third World country. Technology is an
| import and very expensive, so the reach to schools is
| happening mainly because of stuff like Edubuntu."

Zero Install May Be Adopted By Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the remaining complaints about Linux, when compared to
| Microsoft Windows, is the sometimes cumbersome installation
| process of downloaded software. One solution to this problem
| is provided by the Zero Install system, which enables users to
| run applications directly from the Internet. Zero Install has
| now been adapted to Ubuntu and may be added to this
| distribution in the near future.
