ZDNet covers a change on Swiss school PCs, from dual boot Windows/Linux to Linux-only. "Beginning this September, all 9000 computers will run only Ubuntu and free and open source software. While officials are happy to be saving money on licensing, the Department of Public instruction largely made the move out of what they considered best practices for student education."
