Brazil's Ministry of Education ("MEC") is installing Linux in labs used by 52 million schoolchildren, reports KDE developer Mauricio Piacentini. Piacentini's blog post describes MEC's "Linux Educacional 2.0" as "a very clean Debian-based distribution, with KDE 3.5, KDE-Edu, KDE-Games, and some tools developed by the project."
MEC has also used Linux in an "integrated projector," described as a single hardware unit that integrates a "projector, CPU, bundled content and DVD player," Piacentini writes. He adds, "With it, digital content will no longer be restricted to the info lab, and will be usable by teachers in the traditional classrooms as well."
