[ILUG] Schools using Linux

[ILUG] Schools using Linux

Thanks Paul.

The site makes depressing reading. Absolutely no consideration given to
open source software or Linux.

An exercise in obfuscation. For example in a list of "Open Source Freeware
: 400+ free applications and utilities" Open Office is not mentioned once.
No mention is given to the "GPL". No mention is given to standards or to
the ODF.

On a section in how to set up a school website they mention Internet
Explorer but give no mention to Apache or Firefox. Sad really.
