CICT to deploy Linux on 1,200 schools

| What wasn't included on those two articles though is how much Linux
| presence will rise when the plan pushes through to its fullest. Looking
| at the Department of Education's factsheet on RP education, it says
| that there are about 4,769 public high schools as of the 2004-2005 school
| year. With a target of 1,200 public high schools, that potentially means
| one out of four public high schools will use FOSS in their daily
| computing activities, and of course, their curriculum.

Linux adoption has become an reminiscent of the 'avalanche effect'. Its pace
is accelerating. But, hey, Microsoft doesn't care about installed based. It
continues to intimidate OEM's in order to flaunt "market share" and confuse
(disinform) people.
