Re: [seul-edu] School count

[Robert Maynord <maynord@terracom.net>]

Our school is using Linux throughout, for students, teachers, and 
administrators.  We have a Linux firewall, server, and workstations.  Linux 
handles our email and our web site (filtered for the students).  We have a 
total of 55 machines, and growing.  A small number of machines are leftover 
W95 boxes being phased out. 

On the desktops, students use Star Office, Tux Type, KTouch, GIMP, KOffice, 
gcompris, and so forth.  We have a site license for Kidpix, so we run it on 
Linux using wine. Students do presentations, spreadsheets, web research, and 
HTML authoring.

Our software expendature last year was $0.00!

Thanks,

Robert
