Melbourne school considers thin for 4,500+ PCs
,----[ Quote ]
| Morris said he was considering Linux as an alternative, but no decision had
| been made. The IT director will have to carry out these plans with the same
| amount of funds he had last year, which he said was less money in real terms
| because IT's "landscape" is broadening. The funds pressure could be dealt
| with via process improvement, better asset management and using technology to
| free up IT staff time.

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.
