Mexico Goes GNOME

Arturo Aldama wrote to gnome-list this afternoon announcing that a project in Mexico, Scholar Net, has decided to install GNU/Linux workstations with GNOME sofware. The software should be installed in every elementary and mid-level school in Mexico, he says. This means about 140,000 centers in the next five years. He stated reasons such as "cost, reliability, and configuration" for the decision. Here is a link to the message he sent. I don't know about you, but this made my day! As a double bonus, this means they will be aiding in GNOME development.
