[K12OSN] News from Mandrake...

[Chris Thomas]

Hi,

That's cool. I work at a private school in Moreno
Valley and we have been running K12LTSP since 1.0.
Some of the parents complained about having linux. Now
I can say to them "if you put your kid in public
school, they will have linux too"!

Thanks fot the news post.
