Kerala linux Kerala is all set to become the first state in India to completely banish Microsoft and allow only GNU/Linux free software to be used in the mandatory IT test at the state SSLC examinations that half a million students will appear for from next week. Till last year, they could take the exam using either free software or the Microsoft platform. Not anymore.

Network Gulf offers total Linux based solution for Schools in the United Arab Emirates.

Sunday, 20 January 2008

One of the focal points in our agenda for this year is the spread of Linux adoption in schools in United Arab Emirates. Though the 7 emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah) of the UAE, boast many international class schools, there have been little or no adoption of Linux in any of these.

This has been mainly due to the lack of awareness about the enormous possibilities offered by Linux in Education. With this in mind we are offering a total solution to schools including awareness, education, consultancy, implementation and maintenance of their Linux networks.
