when there's not."

Students using PCLinuxOS in Vietnam

,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, I decided to test PCLinuxOS with my students. Wow, amazing. Finally 
| a Linux distro that the majority of my students actually liked using. It ran 
| faster than any of the other Linux distros they tried and easily connected to 
| the internet from inside the school (they like to read Yahoo 360 blogs in 
| class). They figured out how to use Konquerer to browse around the different 
| directories in their laptops without me even telling them. As with Macbooks, 
| the Desktop GUI was easy to learn. Thus, I decided to use PCLinuxOS.

Vietnam Plans to Switch to Open-Source 

,----[ Quote
| The efforts made by Microsoft to reduce software piracy in Vietnam, where an 
| industry group has estimated more than 90% of all software is counterfeit 
| were useless. The applications got sold as cheap as $2 per CD. 
| 
| The Communist Party has announced that it will replace Microsoft Office with 
| the free software product OpenOffice, to avoid breaching the law or paying a 
| lot of money per licensed program. The council that took the decision met on 
| Thursday, October 10, to decide how they will choose the open source 
| programs.
