"Linux desktops sneak into NSW education"
<http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php/id;885559750;fp;2;fpid;1>
Despite a lacklustre policy towards Linux in schools, the NSW Department of
Education will be dealing with more open source desktops as pilot projects
begin across the state.
This month, Homebush Boys High School in Sydney will trial Novell's Suse
Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 on 11 computers in the library,
dual-booting them with Windows XP.
If the trial is successful, the school will look at doing the same for its
entire fleet of about 250 desktops.
. . . . .
"Authentication and basic apps like OpenOffice and Firefox (will be used),
but printing is something we are trying to figure out at the moment,"
Chadwick said.
