      The article presents an update on Linux and its arrival in schools. Market research firm IDC Corp. reported that through 2008, shipments of Linux-based PCs will grow 30 percent annually, and Linux-compatible software will expand 44 percent annually. In 2001, a group of programmers in Norway decided that they wanted to create an easy-to-install, customizable operating system that would allow students to get "under the hood" to view program source code. Since then, they've been working with hundreds of international colleagues to develop Skolelinux, a distribution of Debian GNU/Linux that's designed especially for schools. The thin-client solution, which supports more than 42 languages, is administered through a Web browser and available for free at www.skolelinux.org/portal.
