Cassidy: Linux could ease schools' tech crunch
,----[ Quote ]
| Maybe the answer for local schools facing
| daunting technology challenges lies with the
| penguins.
|
| You know, penguins â those who worship free
| and open-source software, including Linux and
| the operating system's mascot, a penguin named
| Tux.
|
| I've been hearing from the penguins since I
| wrote recently that if Silicon Valley CEOs
| want the state to improve K-12 education, then
| they should take a bigger role in helping
| those schools deploy classroom technology from
| this century.
|
| "One viable solution to getting the old
| computers working again is to install Linux on
| them," Peter Perpich, a San Jose Web
| application engineer, wrote in an e-mail.
| "Linux needs significantly less processing
| power than Windows and is free. There is also
| a wealth of free open-source software for the
| platform."
