Iya nih kapan...
ini merupakan kesempatan EMAS buat Univ. Gunadarma mumpung belon telat
dari pada "ngiler" liat tetangga sebelah ( Binus) yg udah melesat jauh,
( sert.Iso, kerja sama dgn Cisco , microsoft, dll ) yg biayanya Mahal,
gunadarma bisa menggunakan LINUX sbg andalannya.
dimana segala sesuatu ttg linux diterapkan & dipelajari abis.
shg Univ. Gunadarma menjadi "The First LINUX University In Indonesia"
kan keren banget tuh !
masa sih Gunadarma nggak tertarik ?? udah gratis, LEGAL, powerful, sarat
ilmu, dll apa lagi coba...
gratis = free = nggak bayar! masa nggak ngerti juga....
udah...langsung aja kasih proposal ke Ibu Rektor
ok ?

> Linux sparked an open-source movement that revolutionized the software
> realm. Now schools are eyeing the operating system for its
> cost-effectiveness.
>
> "[We want to] encourage and support the use of Linux in
> schools," said Paul Nelson, the technology coordinator and computer
> science instructor for the Riverdale School District in Portland,
> Oregon, which has 25 of its 150 workstations running Linux.
>
> Learn more in Making the Grade
> News from the Linux front
>
> For the past three years, Nelson has led the Linux in Schools Project.
> Once a month, the group holds a clinic in which teachers and students
> can learn how to use and install Linux.
>
> Because Linux is an OS that makes its source code available free of
> charge to anyone who complies with the software license, it is
> considered very economically viable for schools, proponents say.
>
> One of the earliest examples of open source in education was Scholar
> Net, a program in Mexico for elementary and middle school students.
> The program used Linux because they could not afford the hefty
> software licensing fees associated with traditional applications.
>
> Riverdale's Nelson estimates that his district, with two schools and
> 450 students, saves up to $5,000 a year in licensing fees by using
> Linux software. In addition, the schools get free technical support
> from the Linux community online.
>
> Nelson said a new high school will open in the district next year and
> the majority of the computers will be Linux workstations.
>
> "For every Linux machine I see installed, I know that they're saving a
> few thousand dollars that can be spent on other educational needs,"
> said Mark Lachniet, information systems director for Holt Public
> Schools in Michigan, another district that uses Linux.
>
> To date, most schools use Linux on the backend, supporting their Web,
> email, proxy, and file servers, and for firewalls. Because Linux is so
> robust, it never crashes, Nelson said.
>
> Now some schools are experimenting with using the OS as the client on
> individual workstations. It presents plenty of exciting opportunities
> for the classroom.
> At Yorktown High School in Arlington, Virginia, the computer science
> lab sports "a hodge-podge lab of all kinds of different hardware,"
> said Jeff Elkner, the computer science teacher. "Linux is able to run
> on all of them."
>
> All of the tools needed to teach computer science are on these
> machines, and they are free, he said.
>
> "It's early now, but I predict that open-source software will be the
> standard in the school systems in the next few years," Elkner said.
>
> Computer science teachers believe that open source encourages
> creativity and innovation among their students. Students can modify
> and improve on current software and they learn to be "empowered
> programmers," Elkner said. One of Elkner's students is working for a
> Linux startup called Helixcode.
>
> And students are as excited about it as the teachers.
>
> "The open-source code allows computer science teachers to get their
> students in the guts of the machines," said Andrew Feinberg, a junior
> at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland. Feinberg runs a
> site called High School Linux Users Group, which aims to support and
> encourage Linux in education.
>
> Nevertheless, even open-source proponents agree that Linux must be
> more user-friendly in order to be widely used.
>
> According to Elkner, it needs a graphical user interface for the
> desktop and more end-user applications. Gnome and KDE are available as
> graphical interfaces for the OS, but some Linux watchers are calling
> for a standard Linux GUI to sit atop the command line-driven
> operating system.
>
> Training teachers also will take time.
>
> "There would have to be a lot more training [for widespread
> adoption] and right now that doesn't exist," Elkner said. "There
> has to be more of a demand before that training will come into being."
>
>
> And some are concerned that students may feel inclined to abuse the
> power of Linux.
>
> "I see it as a very viable and interesting alternative but I think
> school districts need to be cautious in implementing it," said Matt
> McCarty, the technology coordinator for Clarkston Community Schools in
> Michigan.
>
> "A student could do some real damage if they were allowed access to
> the core network -- the mission critical applications," he said,
> adding that some mischief-makers may try to hack into student records.
>
>
> But Linux devotees contend that open source is consistent with the
> goals of education.
>
> "Education should be promoting the free exchange of ideas and sharing
> ideas," said David Mandel, a Linux and open-source activist who works
> with local user groups in the Pacific Northwest. "It's a case of
> demonstrating the value of peer review and the academic process of
> building things."
