The Linux Community - Bringin' it...
,----[ Quote ]
| In order to do that, we not only had to count
| on caring volunteers, we counted on a world-
| wide community to put together the distro that
| works best for us. That would be Linux Mint.
| We had to count on donations provided by The
| Linux Community to fuel the vehicles needed to
| transport the equipment...something we still
| count upon. We had to rely upon scripts
| written by people around the world to do the
| network installations.

Final chapter looms for textbooks in Texas
,----[ Quote ]
| Textbooks could be going the way of slide
| rules and Big Chief tablets within a few years
| in Texas classrooms.
|
| State legislation passed in the spring could
| put up-to-the-minute instructional content at
| students fingertips â either online or in
| customized printed form â eliminating the
| mass-market hardback textbook.
|
| The sea change could happen sooner rather than
| later, beginning as early as the 2010-11
| school year.

Texas Group Brings Linux Computers Home
,----[ Quote ]
| In 2008, The HeliOS Project built, placed and supported 329 computers where
| they were needed. Sometimes it was necessary to travel over 100 miles to do
| it. Admittedly, 329 computers doesnât sound like much. Not many at all in
| the scope of things. That is until you take into consideration one relevant
| fact.
|
| It was done almost exclusively by one man. One guy in a a beat up old Isuzu
| Rodeo with questionable braking ability and over a quarter million miles on
| itâthatâs averages out to 1 computer installed in a childâs home every 26.6
| hours in a yearâs time.
