Are Schools Giving Students The Wrong Idea About Technology?
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, Iâm a pretty lenient guy. Sure, I prefer Linux,
| but Iâm not going to preach to you on why I prefer it.
| Whatever operating system you use is your business.
| Thatâs the entire point: It shouldnât matter which OS
| you use, things should just work. Thatâs what makes me
| valuable to my company. I can use whatever operating
| system you throw at me, and the application logic I
| have learned over the years enables me to use almost
| all applications after a few minutes of clicking
| around. I can tell you from experience that diversity
| matters to businesses, even the Microsoft-centric
| ones. Iâm not necessarily saying you must be a master
| of Windows, Unix and Linux, but at least know the
| basics of each!

Power to the user.
,----[ Quote ]
| The cost of proprietary software is high and some are
| just a huge money grab. It is important not to give
| the power to the companies but instead to the users of
| a product. Linux is excellent in this because the user
| has tremendous power. Freedom and open source are a
| great concept.

Linux, not the cloud, will save schools
,----[ Quote ]
| Free, Open Source Software (FOSS) offers schools colleges
| and the public sector in general enormous savings. These
| savings are wide ranging. They encompass software purchase
| and licencing costs, support overheads and energy
| consumption. If you want to cut spending then you need
| FOSS.
