Indiana Schools May Purchase 300K Linux Computers

GuitarNeophyte writes "According to an article at PC Magazine, Indiana School systems may soon be purchasing around 300,000 Linpire desktop computers. Linspire, via its Education Program has a straight $500-per-school (not per-seat) cost, providing an incredibly-alluring price incentive for this to happen." From the article: "Many schools across the state have already had the chance to try out desktop Linux, and everyone seems excited to get this program going...This groundbreaking initiative makes it possible for schools to afford computers for every student, something that makes a huge impact on their overall educations."

as soon as they learn that they won't be able to run any type of application they want to, and have to hire a faggot fucker who knows linux to fix the broke ass shit, they will lose tons of money.

This deal WILL NOT HAPPEN. If they buy any computers, it will be MS/intel.

Since when does a 'school system may purchase something' article front page headlines?

fuck whoever submitted this, and fuck whoever posted this linux zealot bs.
