/"According to an article at PC Magazine, Indiana School systems may
soon be purchasing around 300,000 Linpire desktop computers
<http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1844695,00.asp>. Linspire, via its
Education Program <http://www.linspire.com/lindows_esl_info.php> has a
straight $500-per-school (not per-seat) cost, providing an
incredibly-alluring price incentive for this to happen."/ From the
article: /"Many schools across the state have already had the chance to
try out desktop Linux, and everyone seems excited to get this program
going...This groundbreaking initiative makes it possible for schools to
afford computers for every student, something that makes a huge impact
on their overall educations."/
The story link is http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1844695,00.asp
Linspire is here http://www.linspire.com/lindows_esl_info.php
So each school pays $500 and can install Linspire linux on as many
machines as the school owns.
