hi, in targeting education, you have 2 groups - the students and teachers.
One of the ways to push OSS in schools is to provide tools to make the admin work for teachers easier... perhaps tools like this could help: http://www.schooltool.org/ There's also Edubuntu, a version of Ubuntu that is loaded with SW suitable for schools, (students and teachers) and seems to have a wide variety for all ages: this is a note from the site: (for pks to install on existing Ubuntu... <quote> ubuntu-edu-preschool - Preschool ( < 5 years old) educational application bundle ubuntu-edu-primary - Primary ( ages 6-12) educational application bundle ubuntu-edu-secondary - Secondary ( ages 13-18) educational application bundle ubuntu-edu-tertiary - Tertiary ( university level ) educational application bundle You can also install all Edubuntu packages, including artwork by installing the edubuntu-desktop package. Edubuntu packages for Kubuntu Kubuntu users can also now get a full educational desktop by installing the edubuntu-desktop-kde package. This contains some non-KDE components (like Gcompris) so the Edubuntu team is seeking feedback on the application selection and suggestions for new KDE applications to include in the future. </quote> I have not used Edubuntu, but it certainly looks interesting for Edu. Mind, its all in English, so perhaps there can be a local translation team? So perhaps Edubuntu can serve as the tool to get into schools... it will need more evaluation... getting into a distro war now only allows M$ to win. PS, I'm more of a Debian user, but am getting partial to Ubuntu.... and have always been a Mac User (on the desktop) I have used (not just play with..) Caldera (sold to Novell), Slackware, Mandrake (now Mandriva), RedHat, and now Debian. I've installed and sysadmin production servers on all of these (except Caldera)... hence a distro war seems senseless to me. 2010/8/26 red1 <[email protected]>: >> saya buat bagaimana menukarkan m$ access menjadi aplikasi php + mysql. > Hebat tu!
