Linux Win In Schools

Xaleth Nuada wrote to us about a Wired article that talks a school in Colorado choosing Linux over the traditional choices. The reason? Prohibitive costs for licensing, of course. The school's network is maintained by parental volunteers, and thanks to Linux, can be easily maintained remotely. And for what schools use computers for - primarily the Internet, it's a great solution.

agreed, it's pretty b0rken. like most open source software, it's not necessarily free by choice, but because nobody in their right mind would pay for this shit.

Trolls will have to evolve and become stronger and more clever. This whole posting the domain name of a link in brackets will test our patience. It's almost like they don't want us around.... erie.
