Userful Corp. has won a deal to supply its Linux-based PC-sharing software to 357,000 Linux desktops in schools throughout Brazil.

Way cool. Great system, huge cost savings. Brazil has a long history of doing nifty things with Linux. Canada has a long history of doing nifty things for other countries.

If LXer would like to send someone to look at this project I will go!

Yes, we'd like that. As long as you pay and make some nice pictures I can't see any harm in that dear Colonel.
