The Linux desktop OS will join Microsoft Windows as an option in a joint partnership between the California Department of Corrections (CDC) and the Technology Training Foundation of America (TTFA).

California schools can choose to have the Mandrake Linux desktop pre-installed on reconditioned computer systems from an inmate-run refurbishing program.The computers are made available to eligible schools for free by the TTFA.”
