AFUL to support French schools which use Linux

Dave Whitinger writes "In an agreement struck October 28 between AFUL (the French association of Linux users) and the French Ministry of Education, AFUL will assist with installing Linux and Free Software networks in high schools, junior high schools and primary schools throughout France." Note that the french text does not state that schools must convert over, but that should they choose to, the AFUL will help them by providing support, turn-key solutions, and the like. This is an important step towards ensuring the diversity of OS's in French schools, and I hope that many schools will elect to join the project.
