Ohio school district dumps Windows ME for Linux

First, anyone who architected a school district for Windows ME should have been fired before the first ME PC was purchased, but given that history is past us, it’s outstanding to see this district making quite a turnaround with Linux as the default go-forward desktop OS. I can’t tell from this article what distro was chosen, but they do cite $0.50 per user - not bad compared to Vista.

Ohio is an interesting haven for penguinistas - and plans are already finalized for Ohio LinuxFest 2007. It’s been a couple years since I last attended Ohio LinuxFest - and it’s grown quite a bit in that time. I’ll have to consider attending this years’.
