350,000 Linux (Virtual) Desktops Land In Brazil

Posted by timothy on from the rip-helio-gracie dept.

xufem writes "Millions of Brazilian schoolchildren will soon be 'brought up right' running Linux on over 350,000 seats each using PC sharing hardware and software from Userful and KDE. This is world's largest virtual desktop deployment and probably also the world's largest Linux deployment, and seems to have been selected over OLPC by Brazil. Definitely a moment to celebrate — and just in time for Brazilian Carnival which starts tomorrow!"

    Ok, I'm tired of these Anti-Microsoft/Mac articles. Sure, I love/use Linux but how is using Microsoft 'the wrong way'? Does it have some major flaws? Sure.

    But it's certainly not all bad, heck, I got this botnet going without a hitch.
