ComputerWorld reports
on Linux PCs for high-school students in the Philippines. "Providing
high school students with PCs is seen as a first step to preparing them for
a technology-literate future, but in the Philippines many schools cannot
afford to provide computing facilities so after a successful deployment of
13,000 Fedora Linux systems from a government grant, plans are underway to
roll out another 10,000 based on Ubuntu.
