Portable Ubuntu Runs Ubuntu Inside Windows
http://lifehacker.com/5195999/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows Portable Ubuntu Runs Ubuntu Inside Windows Windows only: Free application Portable Ubuntu for Windows runs an entire Linux operating system as a Windows application. As if that weren't cool enough, it's portable, so you can carry it on your thumb drive. Built from the same guts as the andLinux system that lets you seamlessly run Linux apps on your Windows desktop, Portable Ubuntu is a stand-alone package that runs a fairly standard (i.e. orange-colored, GNOME-based) version of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution. It just doesn't bother creating its own desktop, and puts all its windows inside your Windows, er, windows. |

ESR, as he is know to the Open Source or ?acker?community, is one of the Open Source movement? ?ost recognized and controversial characters,?and while we didn? delve into topics that were too controversial (well, except for his position on a liberal arts education), his responses to my questions were relatively brief and direct?eaving me ranging all over the map, trying to find some area for discussion that would benefit educators. I? not sure I fully succeeded, but it was interesting! |

Using Open Source Software in Schools (Report)
http://www2.unescobkk.org/education/ict/v2_2/detail.asp?id=18566 Using Open Source Software in Schools The project report from the study "Open Source Software (OSS) in Schools: A study of the spectrum of use and related ICT infrastructure costs" demonstrates that although the implementation of OSS in schools needs careful planning and support, the use of OSS can offer a cost-effective alternative to proprietary software. UK Government studies have previously suggested that the use of OSS within the UK public sector can provide a viable and credible alternative to propriety software and lead to significant cost savings. The aim of the Becta project was to see if these findings also applied to schools. The project, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, looked at a small sample of schools to explore how OSS is currently being used. The relative costs and approaches to implementation were compared with non-OSS schools. |
