More GNOME Deployments

The University of Zaragoza
and the government in Aragón (a region in the north-east of Spain, between Navarra
and CataluÃ&plusmm;a) have announced
the plan for the one of the biggest Free Software deployments
. What they’ve done
(the students and staff of the University of Zaragoza) is a live CD with their own
Linux distribution, which
contains lots of software for office, network, multimedia, etc, and which is based on
Debian and GNOME. The initial plan is to distribute
50,000 CDs to the students in the University of Zaragoza, which will make an average
of 1 Linux CD per student.
