Linux in U.S. Schools: Why the Resistance? (IT Management)
[Press] Posted Sep 4, 2008 18:40 UTC (Thu) by cook

Matt Hartley questions the slow adoption of Linux by US schools. "“Software alternatives are just not available for Linux.” I hear the statement above almost everyday. What makes the statement so ridiculous is that it is completely inaccurate 99 percent of the time. Normally I would dismiss this as the loss of the person or the business that has opted to limit their horizons with their platform decisions, but when I hear this coming from schools...I find myself shaking my head in complete disbelief."
