Skolelinux in the media

[RalfGesellensetter <rgx@gmx.de>]

Dear list,

searching google news for skolelinux, I hit on this recent report by Linda 
Hoover:

"Stretching the Education Dollar With Linux"

The article reviews several educational distros, including Skolelinux:

"Skolelinux is a Norwegian Debian-based distribution that has gained a lot of 
traction because it installs easily from a single CD and requires minimal 
technical aptitude to maintain. Skolelinux comes with over 70 applications 
specifically tailored for classroom use, as well as the popular Firefox 
browser and the OpenOffice suite of word processing and spreadsheet 
applications. Although Skolelinux is a well-rounded and useful distribution, 
it's usefulness in the United States is limited by a substantial lack of 
support in English."

Umph! Is there a point? Don't they know there is British locales aboard - and 
US-English should be a fingertip away...

Please discuss and feed back ;)

Regards
Ralf
