“The big question: Can Linux replace Windows? Well, ask
the Atlanta Public School district, which is deploying 25,000 Linux
thin-client terminals in its classrooms as a result of a successful
pilot of 2200 Linux terminals in 7 schools. Ask companies like
Ndiyo who have successfully deployed pilots in 3rd-world countries
in educational environments and Internet cafes. Ask the Ubuntu
project which can genuinely claim millions of downloads of its free
end-user OS.”
