Enlaces To Install Linux in Chile Schools

The Edulinux system works on a client-server model, where PCs in the network work just as terminals and all applications run from a central server. PCs in the network can operate productivity tools such as OpenOffice and Internet browser Mozilla, all compatible with Microsoft Office.

The Chilean government’s high school Internet access network Enlaces plans to install Linux operating systems in 600 schools, after a trial project with Edulinux in 25 establishments, local newspaper El Mercurio reported.

The Edulinux open-source platform allows schools to use old computers with low resources that are not able to run modern applications.

At the same time, Edulinux improves the use of Internet, e-mail, software and educational resources.
