The nice thing about open source is that you can adapt it to your own needs. Hence the emergence of Skolelinux, a Linux distribution for Norwegian schools. This article describes the deployment of the softare in four schools. Overall, "Skolelinux in a school environment is less expensive to acquire and operate than different Windows versions. The schools having picked Skolelinux are satisfied with the choice, and would do it again." Don't miss the links at the bottom of the article, including interviews with Knut Yrvin, Project Leader of Skolelinux.
