A dedicated group of norwegian students have now almost finished what is called “School-Linux” (or “skolelinux” in norwegian). After having put down about 11.500 hours of work, they are planning Norway’s largest betatesting – starting on May 3rd. They have translated KDE, and over 350 programs to Norwegian (Bokmal and Nynorsk idiomatisms). They also promise that you will be able to install “school-linux” with three mouse clicks. The finished product is scheduled for late August.

how this project will be taken by the schools here in Norway. Its not guaranteed a success, but if it “takes off”, it will probably do much to the IT community in Scandinavia as a whole, diminishing the total Microsoft control of the market.
