If I am not wrong, there is tie up of Wipro-Microsoft to provide Hardware and software to many schools. With such offers being made to schools, I dont really see why schools will reject especially since they dont usually have to deal with all the drawbacks of Windows. Occasionally, they will re-install whenever their system gets effected by virus. However, my niece studies in 5th std in Bangalore and she told me that they use Fedora in their school with KDE as desktop environment. So I guess we just need better packaging of Gnu/Linux based distribution for schools which will work out of the box after installation and back it up with good local support for schools. SchoolOS is a initiative to solve the first part of the problem. Local GLUGs should take it up as a duty to spread SchoolOS in their locality. -- Regards, Vignesh B.
