Hams, hackers, hobbyists and model railways
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in 2003, Scott McNealy, then CEO of Sun Microsystems, dismissed
| GNU/Linux as a "great environment for the hobbyist" but not for the
| enterprise. The relative success of Linux on Sun's chosen ground, and the
| subsequent decline in the fortunes of Sun have proved McNealy's assessment to
| be wrong, but Linux undeniably has its roots and inspiration among hackers
| and hobbyists.

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.
