Great summary of the current state of linux around the world. Are your students being put at a disadvantage, due to a windoze only policy?

The largest school board in Canada, the Toronto District School Board, has a third world ratio of 10 students to 1 computer, while 3rd world countries are rapidly moving to 1 to 1, yes, a computer for every student. And check out Brazil, which has the LARGEST deployment of linux computers in education in the world: (324,000! compared to the mere 60,000 in the TDSB), and a Canadian company, Userful.com is involved! Or how about Uruguay? Yes, Uruguay has given EVERY elementary school student in every school, in every district, in the ENTIRE country, a linux laptop! And now they are expanding the program to provide EVERY high school student in the ENTIRE country with a laptop. Meanwhile, in incompetent, illiterate Toronto, having wasted millions with little to show for it, students have to fight for access to a computer...sigh...

Interesting new website, providing FREE software for medical applications, etc. Also checkout: linuxmednews! :-)
Now if only our politicians weren't so corrupt and illiterate, perhaps we'd have world class, state of the art medical information systems, at REASONABLE cost to the taxpayers...
I'm such a dreamer...:-)
