is that Cuba has not been using OSS already to this degree. It seems like an obvious move for a country with their economic status. This should be good for their universities especially, since they don't cost money to attend and their software really should be kept up to date in the most cost efficient way.
I don't thing that this is a big move for the freedom of the people, although it does help to free the government from the rule foreign corporations.
I think that GNOME is a nice transition for somebody who has never used Linux before. If they're "copying a full recursive subdir from FTP" or even if they're into it enough to want to change their PDF reader (xPDF being the default), they will know enough to be able to install KDE. There are plenty of reasons to criticize GNOME, but this doesn't make much sense in context.
