Deploying education desktops - made easier

,----[ Quote ]
| I've been working on a project to outfit schools with 'spray and wipe' 
| versions of live educational USB-key Linux distros for netbooks, for quite a 
| while; I'll write about this work on here sometime.  
| 
| I was therefore interested to hear about another project, with similar aims, 
| being run by one of my colleagues here at work. While his team's efforts 
| aren't education-industry specific, they are very applicable within that 
| context.

Will the NSW Govt put Linux in schools?

,----[ Quote ]
| The NSW Government's release this week of an expressions of interest tender
| to give low-cost laptops to every senior public school student in NSW is a
| big step, but will these systems be Windows or Linux?
|
| Rolling out from 2009 onwards, the program will mean a whole generation of
| students will be a great deal more technically literate, which can only be a
| good thing. However, the cost per device (only $500) is going to be a
| challenge for vendors to meet.
