Debian Edu and Skolelinux + +Justin B Rye + +

Who are you, and how do you spend your days?

+ +

I'm a 44-year-old linguistics graduate living in Edinburgh who has +occasionally been employed as a sysadmin.

+ +

How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu +project?

+ +

I'm neither a developer nor a Skolelinux/Debian Edu user! The only +reason my name's in the credits for the documentation is that I hang +around on debian-l10n-english waiting for people to mention things +they'd like a native English speaker to proofread... So I did a sweep +through the wiki for typos and Norglish and inconsistent spellings of +"localisation".

+ +

What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian +Edu?

+ +

What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian +Edu?

+ +

These questions are too hard for me - I don't use it! In fact I +had hardly any contact with I.T. until long after I'd got out of the +education system.

+ +

I can tell you the advantages of Debian for me though: it soaks up +as much of my free time as I want and no more, and lets me do +everything I want a computer for without ever forcing me to spend +money on the latest hardware.

+ +

Which free software do you use daily?

+ +

I've been using Debian since Rex; popularity-contest says the +software that I use most is xinit, xterm, and xulrunner (in other +words, I use a distinctly retro sort of desktop).

+ +

Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to +get schools to use free software?

+ +

Well, I don't know. I suppose I'd be inclined to try reasoning +with the people who make the decisions, but obviously if that worked +you would hardly need a strategy.
