Hola a todos:
les mando un extracto de una noticia aparecida en press releases de
gnome.org, que me pareci� estimulante:
"SWEEPING INITIATIVE PUTS 80,000 COMPUTERS RUNNING GNOME INTO STUDENTS'
HANDS IN THE REGION OF EXTREMADURA, SPAIN
The regional government of Extremadura, Spain has put 80,000 computers in
schools, loaded with GNOME, Linux and other open source software. The
ratio is one computer for every two students.
Regional government installs one computer for every two students, all
running open source software. Additional initiatives put computers in
hands of general population.
......
All of the computers are using a customized version of Linux, called
GNU/LinEx, and features the GNOME desktop. Other free software
productivity programs are also installed on every computer. The total
cost savings exceeded 18 million euros, or nearly one third of the total
budget of 67 million euros.
"For us, software libre (open source software) was the only choice," said
Francisco A. Huertas Mendez, technical coordinator of GNU/LinuEx of the
Junta de Extremadura. "We were able to stretch our budget very far and
provide a powerful and easy-to-use environment with Linux and GNOME. We
are also able to give the students all of the productivity programs they
need."
The Junta of Extremadura has also created 33 computing centers for the
general population. The centers feature one-on-one computer assistance, so
users who are unfamiliar with computers can learn computer and e-mail
basics. The centers have drawn citizens of all ages and walks of life. The
oldest user of the centers is 99 years old.
