[Ambassadors] Mumbai, India Engg. Colleges interested in Fedora

[José Roberto Colombo Junior]

Hello, in the college that I study, they want change the current system
operatinal to Linux. And I suggested Fedora Core Linux. I need help because
it is being so hard to get they agree to change to linux, and now, they
don't know what OS use. Do we have some material about fedora? I really want
send something to them!

Best regards and, sorry by my bad english!
