Ahhh the power of open source, not only is it helping with education in Brazil as this article shows, but it has to be a blow to Microsoft to boot. Imagine trying to do the same with M$ machines and servers, the cost would most definately be prohibitive.
I think this is another excellent step in the right direction. I could see where some thing like this would benefit a lot of schools.

Today has not been a good day by any stretch of the imagination. Besides my depression, and an altercation with my son before I even had my first cup of coffee , my mouse and keyboard decide they have had enough and decided to go by the way side.
So off I got to the local Wally World (walmat for the rest of you folks) to get replacements. Which I was able to do with out to much problems, though it was money that I really didn’t have to spend. Luckly I had enough pop cans to turn in to cover it.
But I am used to a split keyboard and Wally world does not sell them, so I am stuck with a straight. Ugh, it is extremely hard for me to type. But least it works. Now if I could get the extra keys on both the keyboard and mouse working I’d be a happy camper. Unfortunately I can’t find anything in the suse distro to help me do that. Ah well , something else to put on the ever expanding ‘to do list’

I recently found a new font that I wanted to use for here and there on the web. So I located the font download intended for linux and downloaded it to my box. The next problem, since I have never done this before, was how exactly to install the fonts and or where to put them so they could be found. So I turned to the openSuse forums and did a quick search, found a mention if you were using Gnome, to open the file browser and type “font:///”, wondering if KDE was by chance the same way I gave it a short.
