Tom, it may warm your heart to learn that the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has cut costs and improved service delivery in rural areas with a low-cost Multi-station Linux Desktop model - http://www.omni-ts.com/success/linux-desktops-government.htm... Our South African distributor started with a 13-city pilot. It has now been extended to 50 sites and the strategy has been officially approved by SASSA. |

Now all we need is to teach more of it in school so that the job market won't be all Microsoft dominated. |
