Linux in high schools.

[Bruce Smith <bruce@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know there is some interest on this list for Linux in high schools.
(although not by me personally)

I found this message on another LUG mailing list and thought I'd pass
it along, FWIW.  I know nothing about it other than what is said below:

    Bruce.

HELP BRING LINUX TO YOUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL!
SuSE Linux recently announced the SuSE Free Linux Program for U.S. high 
schools--public or private. Administrators, IT specialists, or teachers 
can apply to participate in the program by filling out a form online. 
Qualifying schools will receive 10 or 20 copies of SuSE 7.0 boxed sets. 
(There are 2,000 boxed sets available.) This program's aim is part of 
an ongoing SuSE campaign to make open source computing the IT standard 
for operating systems and applications in educational institutions 
worldwide. SuSE is targeting high schools in an attempt to acquaint 
young people, as well as teachers and administrators, with the high 
quality of open source software, which enables educational institutions 
to free themselves from budget-draining licensing fees. Because your 
local high school computing faculty may not be aware of this 
initiative, why don't you pick up the phone and give them a call?
