[John Hearns]

Good to see Linux mentioned in todays Education Guardian.

What is Linux and how can I use it in school? 

Linux is an operating system rather like Windows, built by a group of
individuals working together and then sharing the code that they built
for free. These developers are convinced that "open-source" software is
the best way to build computer-operating systems in the future, and it
is available either free or for a small contribution. Most computers
built in the last four years can run a version of Linux instead of
Windows and the software is downloadable from www.linux-mandrake.com or
http://www.linux.org


And the picture of the Dell laptop on p14 sports a penguin!
