Needless to say, schools and universities have the best interest in teaching information technologies using Free Software tools. Due to its technical superiority, Free Software environments have more to offer to the students, but also need more technical knowledge to be proficiently administered. I see no money saved here in choosing Free operating systems over proprietary ones, but educational entities could better spend their money on hiring system administrators than on subsidizing some already-too-wealthy commercial software company. While my country, Italy, is stuck with a few rules that offer more support for buying things rather than for employing people, other countries are already moving in the right direction&mdash;Mexico and France, for example, have announced plans to use GNU/Linux in their public schools.
