,----[ Quote ]
| Why is it that Europe is so far ahead of America in this kind of thinking? In
| this post, I looked into another effort from England analyzing how schools
| could use open source to go paperless, and arm kids with Linux notebooks. In
| a subsequent post, I cited another post providing an interesting analysis of
| some specific software tools that could help schools go open source.

| openSUSE 11.0 in all it’s compiz glory?
