Here's an interesting article on a major Linux deployment in the public school system in Macedonia.

They're using the free "Ubuntu" Linux distro from South Africa which uses the "Gnome" desktop.

quote:
When the Republic of Macedonia decided to deploy Linux in 468 schools and 182 computer labs nationwide, they chose GNOME on an Ubuntu distribution. Arangel Angov met with Darko Arsov, Technology Integration Manager at the Education Development Center, to find out more about their reasons for using GNOME.

BTW, the folks who put out Ubuntu will mail Ubuntu CD's free of charge to anyone...anywhere in the world. You don't even have to pay postage costs!
