Xavier School Deploys 600 Ubuntu Linux Desktops

[ Thanks to The VAR Guy for this link. ]

"During a recent email exchange with WorksWithU, Tagle described why the San Juan, Phillipines-based school has fallen for Ubuntu.

""Our large-scale deployment of Ubuntu began last April 2008," writes Tagle. "The reason to choose Ubuntu started due to cost issues brought about by Microsoft's base licenses and subscription licenses. The choice of Ubuntu is due to its ease of use as a desktop OS and the availability of Edubuntu.""
