Open Source (Still) Seeds the Startups
,----[ Quote ]
| It's become fairly well recognised that after the dotcom crash, the next wave
| of startups naturally turned to open source as a way of getting going without
| much money. Since then, the LAMP stack and variants thereof have provided the
| basis of practically every important Web 2.0 company – I believe that MySpace
| is the only one that went with Windows (no wonder that it's losing the
| initiative to Facebook, which uses GNU/Linux and MySQL as its
| foundation....).

23,000 Linux PCs forge education revolution in Philippines
,----[ Quote ]
| Providing high school students with PCs is seen as a first step to preparing
| them for a technology-literate future, but in the Philippines many schools
| cannot afford to provide computing facilities so after a successful
| deployment of 13,000 Fedora Linux systems from a government grant, plans are
| underway to roll out another 10,000 based on Ubuntu.
