Hi All!

I have  a question that I'm trying to get answered. I have some
information that I need, ie. the post from last week on the Largo Fla.
for their Linux systems. What I'm looking for is email addresses,
articles, and anything inbetween for using Linux in public schools.

The reasons that I am asking for this is now that I'm back to work, I
don't have the time to go looking. And I have promised a school board
member that I would get him all the information that I could email to
him on this subject. Comstock schools are spending/going to spend a
bunch of $$ to "update" the computers and "software" every 3 years.
Personally, from what I've seen with Linux, this is pretty redundant.
And lame.

I haven't made the promise yet, nor will I without asking first: If
Comstock schools were to go to a Linux system, school wide, would there
be any KLUG members willing to help implement this? I am asking first
and talking later with school board.

As always, TIA

Bruce
