14 DAY TRIAL // On 20th November, the Macedonia Ministry of Education and Science announces that they will deploy more than 180,000 desktop computers pre-installed with Edubuntu 7.04. This is part of a project called "Computer for Every Child" which is one of the largest known thin client and desktop Linux deployments ever undertaken.
