I don't know if this has been pointed out yet, if not, here are a few links I found (bumped into - rather) date: April 18/19 http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,51994,00.html quote: "The poorest region of Spain has adopted Linux as the official operating system of public schools and offices, in hopes of improving the area's vast technological and economic lag. The move by the Autonomous Community of Extremadura , a rural zone that borders Portugal, will mark the first time a European public school system has switched to open source, said Luis Millán Vázquez de Miguel, the community's minister of education, science and technology. The government has burned 80,000 CDs with the Debian Linux operating system and software ranging from text editors to an Internet browser. The disks will be sent to the area's 670 schools and distributed to the public through newspaper inserts." http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2002-04-22-008-26-NW-DB-DP http://www.linex.org/ in Spanish At first glance it is not very clear though which modifications they made... Maybe a suitable NEWS item? MH
