If the claim is true, how come the public computing centers are running Microsoft Windows? How come public computing entrepreneurs are not talking of profitability raised by using Linux as cheaper means to run the computer desktops being offered to the public for internet access, games, desktop publishing, etc...?

Just curious, how are the recipients of Linux PC Desktop talk about their experiences with the deployed systems by advanced solutions? Are the school's level of literacy to teach and support the Linux systems improving? Any performance metrics available to measure what are claimed to be a success? How are the DepEd schools able to run most of the Windows based application for curricular integration?

Hello,
To whom it may Concern:
I just want to clarify about this supplying Computers to Public Schools. Is it all over Public Schools in the Philippines or it is just in Manila or I mean in the big Cities?
I Graduated in Port Barton National High School in the year 1989. The School is doing really well as of now and we had so many successful Graduates in this Schools: like Nurses, Midwife, Engineers, Accountants, this is just to name a few.
So my question is would you be able to supply at least 6 Computers into the getting larger Schools of Port Barton, both High School and Elementary. We had about over 5 thousand Population in this tiny Village with some little Islands as well. The Children's are really ignorant when it comes to computer. So if you could help them I think it would be so wonderful. I would really appreciate it if someone could get back to me on this matter.
By the way my name is Welcy Padilla Rowed, I am currently residing in Banff Alberta Canada for 15 years now. I am not a Computer Expert but at least I know the Basic of it. I used computer a lot in my Job as a Cashier in the famous Hotel of Canada The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel which was built in 1898. Please get back to me, I would like to help in any way to the Children over there.

Linux still cheaper than heavily-subsidized Microsoft products. Though, It should have been even 100 times CHEAPER applying with the new Linux Multidesktop Technology.
Linux Public Computing Operating System, yet a new terminology many should cope with. Does it work really? See more:

Public Computing occurs whenever computers are deployed for use by the public, by "untrusted" users, or by transactional workers. The key issues at public computers are privacy protection, system security, and manageability. Users find Linux Multidesktop approach friendly, secure and worry free! It is ideal for Schools, Universities, Libraries, Community Centres etc...
