The document discusses the benefits of using Linux instead of Windows in schools. It argues that Linux is free, open source, secure, supports multiple desktops, runs on many platforms, is customizable, and has fewer viruses. It also notes that some schools around the world currently use Linux successfully. However, it acknowledges that a lack of market share, unfamiliarity, technical gaps, and lack of support for some applications and devices are reasons why more schools have not adopted Linux. The document provides references from Wikipedia, student presentations, and other online sources to support its points. It encourages starting to use Linux today.
