Subject: Linux in Community Schools
Are there schools using Linux as their operating system in your country? Kindly state the school, country and the distro used. I'm working on the study of "linux in community schools". Thanks. :-)

There's a pilot proyect in my city (Managua, Nicaragua). Since a couple years they've been using gnuLinEx (http://www.linex.org/joomlaex/), and we are working to promote the use of free software in public education. The school is called "Guardabarranco".)

You can google search for specifics, but there are schools in various countries including India, S. Africa, U.S., etc. that are either teaching open source courseware or running entirely/mostly on Linux. For more accurate information, I suggest you contact major distributions such as Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. and ask them what schools they are directly involved with and what governments they are trying to persuade to switch to Linux. Cheers!
