  How Do I Get More Info On Skolelinux?
  
  http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/
  
  An external evaluation by the Swedish company Statskonsult concluded:
  
  "Skolelinux is a good product for the schools, satisfying all of the main needs of the schools. It is inexpensive, stable and can be used together with varous learning platforms and learning portals. Using thin clients, Skolelinux in a school environment is less expensive to acquire and operate than different Windows versions.The schools who have picked Skolelinux are satisfied with the choice that they have made, and would do the same again if they got to choose once more. A survey also showed that it is financially advantageous to choose Skolelinux with thin clients over choosing a Windows environment with new machines that must be acquired or upgraded."
