World's first Linux school to open in Poland, OS creator to attend ceremonies

Beginning this academic year 30 students in Szczytno will attend the world's first Linux Secondary School. Linus Thorvalds, creator of one of the most renowned computer operating systems Linux, will attend the opening of the new school. The school, apart from a standard curriculum will also teach students the Linux system, the only serious competitor to Microsoft Windows. They will start with four hours of computers classes a week instead of the two in standard schools. The recruitment was conducted mostly through the internet and local papers attracting two applicants for each spot. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 5)
