Hi, as a follow up to an earlier comment by me, I was hoping somebody could pass this article onto the relevant people regarding the highschool laptop project. It details the immense benefits of using open-source software (e.g. Ubuntu) instead of proprietary, closed software such as MS Office or Microsoft Windows. http://www.itwire.com/content/view/16984/1141 Further, I'd like to again remind you that netbooks (such as the Asus EEE PC) are a far superior (and importantly far cheaper) alternative to normal laptops in schools. Many of them already come supplied with open source software, too (and Ubuntu has released both a Netbook edition and an Education edition).
