Great news for the FOSS community. During Africa Source there had been a presentation of a new software, Skole Linux. Skole Linux is a Free Software Linux distribution, tailored to the needs of schools. It was developed in Norway and is strongly supported by the Norwegian government. The first version of Skole Linux was introduced at Africa Source event to SchoolNet Africa and a number of other interested participants in march 2004 inNamibia.
One of its advantages is that Skole Linux has the strongest Thin Client support which makes it very competitive to other distributions.
As a direct follow-up, James Wire, Richard Muwonge and Ahmed Ndaula implemented Skole Linux in Uganda. As a result of their work, Skole Linux has be used as Thin Client on over 300 computers in 60 schools, giving a new exciting life to the ICT departments in Uganda.
Below are some of the pictures during the workshops.
