• There was nothing “quick” or “easy” about how the government of Extremadura went about this deployment!

  • 5 years, designing and implementing comprehensive plans

• LinEx is the Debian-derived Linux distribution created in Extremadura as a key component of their Technology Literacy Plan, and the Educational Technology Network project started in 1998.

• In addition to 80,000 desktops deployed in the schools, over 20,000 live-run CDROMs have been distributed to ordinary citizens!
